i thought about this the other day for the first time in a while. when i was 18 i was pretty big into smoking weed, but i only made like 7 bucks an hour and worked probably less than 20 hours a week. but i really had no responsibilities besides paying for my gas, so i could spend a bunch of money on weed without too much regret. anyways, i was running low on cash and i knew i had a while before i got paid next so i decided to make some fake 20s. the plan was that me and my buddy would go buy some weed for $50, give our dealer two fake $20s and a real 10. the kid we bought from was usually baked out of his mind or super fucked up on xanax so the chance of him catching us was really low. the way i made the bills was super sketchy. we had one of those 3 in 1 inkjet printers with a copier and a scanner. all i did was measure out where the middle of one edge of the scanner was, copied the bill, then copied it again on the other side. i made 2 because my first one turned out less than perfect (go fucking figure). put them both in a pair of jeans and put them in the dryer for about 20 minutes and called it a day. if you werent checking, the bills looked ok, but if you took more than a 5 second look at then, you could easily tell they were fake. so my buddy comes by and im pretty sure i was just giving him the money and he was going to go get the weed. i might have been skating or something, but i didnt go with him. so he comes back and says he chickened out and paid with real money and gave me the fakes back. we got our weed, but this still didnt solve my problem of being low on cash. so maybe the next night, im out by myself and decided im going to try to pay with a fake bill and get the change from it. i go into cvs, pick up a gatorade or something and hand the clerk my fake 20. immediately he feels it and makes a weird face. he probably played with it for a good 5 seconds before shaking his head, putting it in the drawer and handing me the change. i was scared to death that he half way examined it, but i was sooo psyched that it actually worked and i was $18 and a gatorade richer. so a few days later, i decided to run my scam again, this time at 711. same gig, bought a drink and handed the guy my fake 20. this guy wasnt so easily fooled. he feels it and obviously he can tell the difference because computer paper doesnt feel like money at all. sets the bill down and takes out his counterfeit money marker. now ive seen people use these many times, but i cant tell you what youre supposed to look for in the markings. every time i see it on a legit bill, the mark turns a light brown, then disappears shortly after. so he marks my bill and im sweating bullets, but the mark comes out light fucking brown. dude puts it in the drawer and hands me the change. i get back to my car and im almost having a heart attack and told myself i would never do that again. i stayed away from that 711 for a good 6 to 9 months just because i was afraid of somehow getting in trouble. so the next time i go back, the same clerk is in there and im there with a few friends. one of my buddies is in line in front of me and goes to pay with a $20. the dude pulls out his marker and checks his bill, then says "sorry, i just have to make sure. some people have come up hear and paid with fake bills" and the dude gives me a blatant stare down. he fucking remembered. i paid with a card that night and have only been back to that 711 a handful of times since then. i cant even imagine what would happen if i got caught since i believe counterfeiting is a federal offense. and it wouldnt have been hard to bust me seeing as i had the legit $20 that i copied in my pocket. this might not seem that bad, but its by far the worst thing ive ever done and got away with.
