I don't remember where I heard that casinos pick up a lot of bad money but I have heard it more than once. It may be like one of those myths that floats around for years and begins to be accepted. It sounded plausable because of the huge cash flow a casino sees in a day, it would seem reasonable that the more cash flow the more bad notes. I knew the slot machines would likely spit them back out as anti-counterfieting measures are usually built into bill accepting devices. It is the tables when the dealers get busy that counterfiets were coming in as I remember. But like you said the more you handle money the feel is a quick give-away. As far as passing bad money in a casino, I agree it is a stupid idea but criminals are not real bright to begin with. I never said it was a 'good place' to pass them, just a place where more are picked up.

The best counterfiets are on real paper. One Dollar bills are bleached (ink solvent), and $100's are printed using the paper. Those 'feel' real, but won't pass close inspection, UV, Watermark, Security Strip.

$20's and $100's are the most conterfieted notes (according to the FBI and US Treasury), so I would expect those to be the most seen at a casino or anywhere else but would have thought the $100's would be passed more at a casino. I guess the number of $20's in circulation at a casino exceeds $100's anyway. For some reason I thought it might be the other way around at a casino.

Also, I had never heard the $50 was unlucky and people tore corners off! Sounds like the same story with the $2's.

Anyway you said,"We have three casinos, the two in Oklahoma rarely get any bad bills. The one in Kansas sees one or two a week." That was the answer I was looking for. I was suprised it was not a little higher number (say 8~10 a week or so). That's the reason I asked someone who actually KNOWS.

Thanks for the information Jim!
