Money Machine Fraud
Money Machine Fraud
Have you noticed that the little strip in the side of a $20 bill has started
appearing in the
lower denominations, namely $10 and $5. The latter is
particularly useful. First, find a $5
bill that has the strip. Now use a
pair of very small tweezers to pull this strip out. It is
difficult, but
with a little work, it will happen. Now use some clear (not foggy) scotch
tape to tape this strip in approximatly the same location on the front side
(the president
side) of a $1 bill.
Go to a change machine that will still give you quaters, unless you
really
want tokens for the arcade…You’ll get $5 in quarters.
Handy, but how’s
it really profitable? Get 4 $5 bills and 4 $1’s. Pull the
strips out off all of them and tape
to the $1’s. Change them, and then wrap
the quarters in wrappers. Take them to the bank to get
changed into $20, and
then spend the $5’s elsewhere (99% of all stores don’t look for the
strip
in $5’s and $10’s).
See, the change machines made in the last 4-5 years use
this strip to decide
what it just ate. If it sees the strip, it’s a $5, if no strip, then it’s
a
$1. CAUTION: THIS IS A FEDERAL OFFENSE AS WELL AS A FELONY. THIS IS COUNTER-
FITTING.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AGAINST THIS.
(If you ever REALLY need the cash, tho, it’s there…)
where is this strip on the bill. is it actually able to take off with tweezers??? doy you mean the security strip??
This technique doesn’t work. Ive tried it in different ways, and money kept getting stuck. I also tried on different machines, and same thing!
In reading over the information you have provided I was wondering if there was an easier way to remove the strips from the 5 & 10 bills?
