the counterfeit TT feels of a lower quality. (kinda feels old to the untrained finger)
there are also a lot of counterfeit TT$20.00 bills on the market.

I know a couple ah guys who do this sh!t. Actually they bleach $1 notes and use a normal inkjet printer and print the $20 on it. It's stupid to know that the same money you counterfeiting can return to you and you still doing it.

You could go up Arima and literally buy counterfeit money..... Like $20 for a $100 bill. So now the risk is on you.

You moving like this doesn't happen all the time.

If you plan to deal in US, learn how to read the bill.
Buy a black light, counterfeit pen, light source and do some research on what to look for.

Same with TT money. You can go to the bank and ask them to show you samples of fakes so you can properly educate yourself.

Every business owner/power seller should take the extra time to figure it out cause the bank doesn't pay you back for fake bills you deposit.

Yea but these counterfeit $20s I've seen look just like the real deal. Even the gold emblem on the dollar not is there with the red stripes on it. Even when you hold it up in light everything looks the same. These guys pass these notes off in banks an all. But there are a few things to look out for though. And the pen doesn't identify these bills either.

People that do business that involves US money passing through their hands should all have a counterfeit detection marker or pen. Another reason why I cherish my credit card yes, plastic money doesn't get printed over

Yea but that don't mean people paying you will pay by credit card.

As far as I know, if you're a regular bulk depositor (Republic Bank at least) and they detect a counterfeit, they normally deposit it into your account anyway, then give you a paper telling you what to look out for etc. Happened with our courier once.

Republic is pretty good with that kind of stuff. If you are a regular bulk depositor most of your stuff should be covered by insurance anyway. However, usually bulk depositors do have proper means in place to make sure the bills they are deposited are real.

Again, if you are buying it from someone off the forum. Just take time and check if the bills. Or request a certified cheque depending on how much is being spent. Talk done.

Protect yourself and your business. Also people won't think you are a fly-by-night if you take these matters seriously.

Hey I got a 1964 (QE11) mint issued and not counterfeited $1 tt bill in the same colour of a $20 bill.
Only 36 are know to be minted, they were used as test notes to determine if it can be used as a purple $1 note in trini. In the british era ( We need to go back british) the colours were,
$1 was Blue
$2 was red
$5 was purple
$10 was Brown
$20 was Green
$100 was Grey
