Don't give it to your friends. Your friends can identify you as Jimmy Tipper - or whatever your name may be. This is why you spend the bills at stores.

After the store gets a $10 it may as well be lost in the void. It's highly likely that the bill will be handed out as change within the next 20minutes. Now that no less than three people have handled the bill (yourself, the clerk, and the customer that received the bill from the clerk) fingerprints are practically useless (smudging, rubbing against other bills, oil on their hands, etc). After the bill has been passed, it's done - as long as it doesn't make it to the cash room at the store (and subsequently to the bank) you're clear.

kteddycharms,
The paper won't pass the pen test - but nobody at the places you'll be using them uses the pens (actually nobody really uses the pens). The pen test is irrelevant unless you're at a restaurant where you pay the waitress - some waitresses will still use the pens.
