Spotting fake hundos

Just a word of caution, I recently had a casino reject a fake new-style 100 that I'm 99% certain they gave me 3 days before when I cashed out (since I keep my gambling bankroll separate and I had just had a big cashout a few days earlier, and I put recent money on top and take it off the top).

Also, they kept the bill, so I was out $100 (and went in their records for trying to pass counterfeit).

By the way, I remember the bill felt kind of funny in my hand, as someone mentioned above. Like it was too thick or something.

Yeah, this is the real problem.

The guys arguing that there are lots of counterfeit bills and by implication therefore we ought not worry about the possibility are throwing out a red herring.

The real issue to anyone of us is that we pocket the bill, and then at some later point in time attempt to buy chips or deposit it in the bank, it is discovered by someone trained to spot the fakes, and we are out the $100.
