How do I recognize or tell a counterfeit money and differentiate it from real money
If you rub the bill on a white piece of paper and some of the ink comes off and leaves a smudge on the paper, it’s a real bill (money). Fake bills are usually printed with regular printer ink that won’t come off. And if you get really good, you can smell the difference between the real and the fake bank notes.
when you deal with cash on such a frequent basis, you can usually pick up on a counterfeit. They just feel off. My coworker once caught one before it was taken and said it felt super waxy. He was about to refuse it when our acting store manager at the time told the cashier to accept it. Next day the bank calls: it was fake. When in doubt, just refuse it. Better to annoy a customer than to screw over your company and let the counterfeiter get away. Besides, if it actually is a counterfeit, most criminals will be overly polite, nice, and understanding about it. It’s usually only genuine bills where people get annoyed.
