By posting a link to previous copy, which appeared at this location, at least one person involved in promoting capital crimes - including, but not limited to - the assassination of President Obama revealed their ambitions to publicize information, which criticized and falsely blamed (LEAVES) (WHSIPEERS) and Anonymous operators for these crimes; although no copy at this link mentioned any of those operators. I removed previous copy because it caused people to believe they could get away with counterfeiting and money laundering. Some criminals believe since these arrests are not mentioned online, they do not occur, which is absurd. Police officer give people speeding tickets every day; and these arrests do not appear online. Read the replies to this Opening Post and realize copy, which was written here before 1/17/15 did not mention (LEAVES) (WHISPEERS) Anonymous, Obama or the FBI in any way. On 1/17/15 Online agents of the US Secret Service and FBI indicated they would allow Chinese satellite teams to impair computer in ways that obviously created usable code for other Chinese satellite agencies and online agents. These US Federal Agents could have easily prevented lengthy delays in my ability to remove accidental Chinese code I typed from this document; but decided to do nothing to protect President Obama and assist other online agents working on this project.

1. The wealthy create more money with high frequency trading. nt

[unrepentant progress]

2. Why would counterfeit money matter anyway?

We have a shortage of currency, at least available to ordinary folks, because the Very Serious People seem unable to give up on the illusion that we still have hard currency. So any actual counterfeit bills are just filling a hole that the government refuses to.

3. the reason couterfeiting is such a serious crime is that it destroys the econonomy

Counterfeiting is the most inflationary crime imaginable; and no one needs to have an economics degree to figure out the reason this statement is true. Your question; however, is - to say the least - unusual.

[unrepentant progress]

16. My point being that counterfeiting can't be inflationary

If there's not enough currency in circulation. So I say more power to the counterfeiters. They're doing the job our government won't.

[yeoman6987]

26. What? Seriously? You forgot the sarcasm.

[unrepentant progress]

27. Just pointing out that counterfeiting is not necessarily something to fear

If the counterfeit currency goes undetected, it's not really counterfeit, is it? And to the extent that ordinary people don't have enough money, counterfeit currency could be considered a net positive for the 99%. You only experience runaway inflation when there's more currency in circulation than there is demand.

Am I advocating counterfeiting currency? No, not at all.

4. I rarely see or use a twenty.

True. I rarely buy anything with cash that costs that much.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

19. If counterfeiting keeps expanding a singles Hershey Kiss will soon cost $1.00

"A loaf of bread will buy a pound of gold," soon, as the diamond market is flooded.

[femmocrat]

22. LOL

I will be in big trouble if that happens! Then I would need some of those twenties.

[n2doc]

5. Depends on the area

Here, some people do (mainly in poorer areas) and some don't.

[aikoaiko]

6. I so rarely use cash anymore.

Even the coke machine take my credit card.

[ZombieHorde]

7. Were the lines not moving slow enough for you?

Are you really that concerned about counterfeit money?

[customerserviceguy]

17. Good question

I thought they redesigned everything above a one dollar bill (which should be made obsolete by just not printing any more of them) to prevent counterfeiting.

I don't expect the average cashier to be a government currency expert.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

18. the better question is...

Are FBI online and special teams agents monitoring ALL illegal eavesdropping concerned about plans Widely Heard Inspirational Eardrum Reverberation Specialists WHISPERS operators make to assassinate The Commander In Chief, President Obama? These operators utilize Linguist Evoking Artificial Voice Emitting Systems (LEAVES) to cause Obama to be the President to hold the record for the most assassination attempts in the history of US Presidents. Why don't FBI and NSA online agents stop allowing Chinese satellite and illegal gear operators from continuing to work toward causing the death of the Commander In Chief?

25. WTF?? nt

[unrepentant progress]

28. Argle bargle?

[ohnoyoudidnt]

8. I rarely use cash, but I can't remember the last

time a cashier checked a $20 or higher denomination bill.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

21. How does the term "Swipe" your credit card number sound?

Let's watch and "swipe" your card. Is That Okay?

[Codeine]

9. An experienced cashier can spot a fake bill

just by handling it. I run a grocery store and my cashiers turn away funny money all the time -- as soon as it hits their hands they know it doesn't feel right.

[Brigid]

10. I see cashiers check bills all the time.

[Jenoch]

11. I do to.

They use that brown pen and swipe the bill with it. I tend to use cash because I seem to spend less that way.

[Ron Obvious]

12. Yep

I've seen them do that here in Seattle. To retaliate, I carefully hold my change up to the light, looking suspiciously at them as I do so.

[seveneyes]

13. Smile, you're on camera

Any significant distribution of rogue bills will be busted.

[Demit]

14. They check in Southeastern PA & South Jersey all the time.

No alarming trend in our neck of the woods.

[Kalidurga]

15. When I cashiered I checked all bills 20 and over

even (especially) the store managers. I don't think he minded, but I wouldn't care if he did. I think I checked a cops too cuz I don't know how careful they are when they get change. I also check at the bank when I am getting cash.

[X_Digger]

20. What's the bullshit babble you're trying to peddle in your threads?

My tinfoil allotment is late this month, and last month's foil beanie must have a previous version of 'wharrgarble decoder'.

[Codeine]

23. For some reason DU has been letting this guy

babble his incoherent paranoia for years. I guess some folks think it's funny, but I really think it needed to be shut down a long time ago.

[Electric Monk]

30. Remember this classic?

24. What does the DoD have to do with

Counterfeiting or the POTUS' safety?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

29. Which is one reason why God invented credit cards.

[Orrex]

31. How, exactly, might they check them?

The magical marker that they sometimes use is bogus. What do you propose instead?

[MineralMan]

32. I've noticed that some do and some don't.

I don't pay a lot of attention to it, really, and use my debit card for most purchases, anyhow.

However, that was not always the case. The year they introduced the new $100 bills for the first time, I needed a bunch of cash to use at an international mineral specimen show. I was buying stock for my mineral specimen business. Although the show was held in the United States, most of the wholesale dealers I would be buying from were from other countries.

Almost all purchases at these shows are made in cash, specifically $US100 bills. The new bills were just getting well-distributed that year, but when I went to the bank, I had requested old bills, rather than the new ones. My local bank was kind enough, given two weeks notice, to make me up a bundle of the old bills.

As it turned out, that was a good move. The international mineral dealers were very, very skeptical of the new $100 bills. They had never seen them, and the new design was so different that they were suspicious of them. Some even refused to accept them. My bankroll, though, was all old design Benjamins, and all of my purchases were done efficiently.

Just a funny true story.

33. Because a $20 doesn't buy that much anymore.

Prices are nearly 10 times as high as they were in the mid 1960's, so today's $20 is nearly equivalent to mid 1960's $2 bill.

We really need to eliminate the cent and nickel, and start rounding to ten cents. Keep the dime, get rid of the quarter and mint a new octagonal smaller 50 cent piece. Get rid of $1 bills and use the coins. Then look at either a $2 coin or a $5 coin.

The current cent and nickel are equivalent to having a 1/10 cent and half cent piece 50 years ago. It is just plain stupid minting them anymore. The money would be better spent on a jobs program.

35. Do you know why dogs don't carry money?

Because they don't have pockets for the change.
