How to Tell if a $50 Bill is REAL or FAKE 

No because the pen reacts with the iodine in the paper on the fakes and its probably not too hard just to use cotton paper instead of your classic paper from wood

@@Alex.Solis1 it doesn't react to the material of the paper. It reacts to starch.

The pen isn’t even a sure way to tell tho 😂 Only the lowest quality counterfeits will fail it 💀

@@Alex.Solis1 a lot of cotton paper has starch so it’s not just as simple as buying cotton paper lol

Actually we have a pen at my company and one of my employees took one because it passed the marker test

Oh thanks I didn't even realize that one! I'll make sure to include that one if/when I update this video!

@@RobSomeKnowledge i can tell if that 50 dollor bill is fake, becuase i see there is no president on there

So you essentially stole $150 😂

Oh yes! I completely forgot to add that one in the video!

Any bills before 1990 won’t have a strip. But since it was unusually thick and it looked blurry it was probably fake. Bills will never look blurry. That’s usual a result of just photocopying money.

The 50 dollar bill strip will glow yellow on both sides. Interestingly, on one side, you can even see the letters on the strip without shining the light through the banknote.

It is a fake. His signature, as of now, is only printed on the $1 bill.

@@amyfilipopoulosnelson2195 the treasurer and Secretary of treasury are on most bills what are you talking about 😂

Maybe the pen is starting to get old. You do have to replace them every so often. All the pen does is test for starch.

Hi

Nope all bills should be cut the exact same, of course there are errors here and there, but usually no it shouldn't be smaller. Did it pass all of the tests I show?

High end counterfeits don’t wash $1/$5’s etc. that’s like a drug addict method for someone with a $30 inkjet 😂 they source a paper without starch or make their own paper without starch. They can also use lacquer to prevent the pen from ever reaching the starch (like modern counterfeiter Jeff Turner). If the paper is thin enough you can use 2 pieces of paper and print a side on each piece. Then on the back of the back you can print a strip and watermark. If you make your own paper you can 3D print a Benjamin Franklin stencil a couple millimeter thick and do the same for the “USA 100” (or source some pre existing tiny letters) then use adhesive to put it on the mesh of your deckle and mould (paper making device). Then when you make paper it’ll be thinner in those spots thus creating a watermark Benjamin Franklin and watermark security strip. There’s also ways to beat the iridescent numbers on the bottom right of the bill, getting the security strip to glow the right color under a black light, etc but if you want to learn more about that look up the Jeff Turner interview on Koncrete YT channel. Dude made over a million in 1996 series 100s using an inkjet printer and blank Bible paper. Usually a really high end counterfeiting ring will also get an offset printing press to get fine quality imagery. But if you get a really nice digital camera with a good macro lens you can also take a bunch of photos, clean it up in like photoshop/GIMP, assemble it all together, then make really good looking $.

De nada!

What do you mean blue and white dollars?

Cheers 👊 thanx

@@romeocasanova3865 anytime!

Thanks for watching!

Depending on the camera and how stable you can hold it , it should work

You’re lucky she didn’t confiscate them and call the police to confirm. Might as well go to a different store.

You don’t have a UV light or you used one and it didn’t react?

@@RobSomeKnowledge I didn't had one

Ahh. Do you still have the bill? If all the other security features look good , I think it’s probably good. Bill acceptors can be picky sometimes especially if a bill is super wrinkly Or damaged

$50 bill with $5 watermark? That is not a printing error. It’s a counterfeit. Someone bleached a $5 bill and printed a $50 on top of it

No, $1 bills do not have a security strip embedded in them.

They can’t change $1 bills due to some vending machine lobbying. It’s been the same design forever. It will never have a strip. Your friend is dumb

Yea it is okay

It’s not a permanent marker. It’s a marker with iodine in it. Do not draw on money with a regular markers!!!

Abundance

@@RobSomeKnowledge Thank you so much.

No problem!

Just check for the embedded security strip. Make sure it reads the proper denomination. That’s prob the fastest most effective way

@@RobSomeKnowledge the fastest way is getting use to coloration (low quality photocopy ones fail this a lot) and feeling the texture on the historical figure’s suit. The magnetic ink on the black work gives it a raised texture.

Hard to tell if u se e real or not

How is it clear? Is the marker dried out?

No

It shouldn’t- the press they use has a ton of pressure!

Most likely. What is the year on the bill?

@@RobSomeKnowledge 2013

Hmmm, I’ve never heard that one before, either it is some rare error bill (which I highly doubt missing a serial number would pass any kind of quality assurance check) or it’s fake. Can you possibly upload a video of it to your channel? If so I could take a look

amzn.to/3vofeaH that is the one I used

If it’s this newest style, it should

lol I have multiple phones, but this video was actually recorded on my Canon EOS M50 Camera

Possible? Yes. Probable? No. If you could somehow source every single material, and piece of equipment used to make currency then you could. And doing all this undetected would probably be a whole different story

If it’s possible to make it then it’s possible to counterfeit it. The North Korean super notes were real close but they accidentally had too much detail in certain spots.

Dang yeah that sucks. Yeah always check it right away! Thanks for watching and commenting!

The signa.cultivations on sadder monetary moment really

China on mean hinus

Okay what about the other security features I mentioned… did you check those?

Yeah no portrait for the watermark, and also no USA 50 on the side of the face!

@@RobSomeKnowledge i wish i could show you the bill it definitely does not look like a regular 50

@@LUVBUG24K What year is the bill? Take a quick video with your phone and upload it to RU-vid

@@RobSomeKnowledge it says on it “series 1963” but when you look up old 50 dollar bill online it looks like that

Whatcha smoking cuh 😂

This bill is real

@@RobSomeKnowledge i can tell is it real

LOL!

Let me when I get it ok

When am I getting my $50 bill

Why am I getting my $50 bill in the mail

From me? Never

As long as you didn't steal it HAHA

It needs to be correct watermark. Some people will bleach a $10 bill and print a $50 or $100 on top of it. Will still have a watermark but will not be an authentic bill. That’s why it’s important to pay attention to detail. Also if you’ve ever looked into famous counterfeiters there have been people that have made some pretty realistic looking watermark fakes.

Yes sir. Whatever works for you!

Are you talking about a small star right next to the serial number of the bill?

@@RobSomeKnowledge no, a tiny star after#

@@petethetaper Yeah that is called a star note, typically worth more than face value of the bill, depending on what series it is, and some special serial numbers can sell for a good chunk of change

@@RobSomeKnowledge thanks for clearing it up, i do see i said its almost identical to yours, the pb, series 2017, nice crisp and thank you, its no fake. great to learn from your vid.

I’m not sure what that means… ?

No I have 50 US dollar of 2013 I want to know the original plz help me

What do you mean you want to know the original?

Yes I want to know the original because I 8 notes of 50 USA dollar show me on video

The note in this video is real and original
