I have been buying and selling at swap meets for about 40 years now and I have often wondered if I have ever received any "funny-money" for a transaction. You guys ever wonder about the hundreds of dollars you receive at swap meets? Gus

with the new bills i don't bother to check them. any older bill over a $20 i hold up to the light to see if it's legit by looking for the hidden thread identifying bill size. been doing this for about 3 years now.

there was a bunch of funny money being passed around at the Mopar Nat's in Columbus a few years ago never heard about that at the Nats. But did hear about it at Carlisle some time ago, Luckily I never got any. But I sure could see how easy it could happen

For about five bucks you can get a checking pen. I sold a truck recently for cash to an out-of-town buyer who did a fly-in drive home. I made sure that I had all of his contact info, Google his home address, etc before he showed up.. I bought the pen. I didn't want to check the money right in front of him, but as soon as he left I did. I figured if there was counterfeit the cops could still catch up with him while he was on his way home.

Quit calling our money "funny". Just 'cause its made of plastic and has colours other than green doesn't make it funny !!! I just laugh when I see a beaver on it Beaver always makes me grin Sometimes I end up spending most of the money I make at the swap meet just to buy new junk to replace the junk I just sold Gus

Quite a few years ago I sold a Honda Civic we had, I didn't want him coming to my house so i met him in a local shopping center parking lot. Theres an Applebees there, the guy came with cash ( $100 bills ) I was worried about counterfeit so I went in and asked the bartender to check then, he graciously did and they were good, perhaps they are trained or If remember correctly they had a machine to check the bills. I believe people would try to pass fake bills at a swap meet especially because its mostly cash transactions.
