I found a $50 bill on the ground?

Question

Ok, I was walking to the door entrance at my work this morning and saw a dollar bill in the grass, I picked it up thinking it was a $1 bill, instead, it's a 50. But before I go 'n spend it, I need to make sure it's not fake and I get in trouble for trying to spend it. What do I do to find out?

NOTE: It looks real. Feels real. But can't be too sure.

Answer 1

if it burns red, it's real.

Answer 2

First of all are their cameras around you work? If so give it to security. Hold it up to the light to see a ribbon and a water mark. If it is a bill from be for 1999 it won't have it.

Answer 3

You can hold it up to the light and look for the identity strip inside the bill. You can also take it to a store and have them to use a testing pen on it before you use it.

Answer 4

Not to be a kill joy, but you might want to ask a receptionist or a secretary where you work, if someone was looking for the missing money. I hate to think of someone losing $50 if they really needed it.

Answer 5

If it looks real, it probably is, just try to spend it. They test and will let you know. Otherwise a bank.

Answer 6

Take it to a light and see the strip embedded in the bill.

Answer 7

Hold it up to the light and you should see a strip going through it that says USA50. If it's one of the newer face ones you will see the president's face when you hold it up to the light.

Answer 8

Does it have the line through it when you hold it up to light?? maybe you could try a counterfit pen. if its fake it will turn a certain color.

Answer 9

u should not spend it u should turn in a lost money e-mail dont say how much and give it back to its rightful owner karma karma karma it can be a wonderful thing

Answer 10

Answer 11
