Counterfeits

With the economy of the world being what it is counterfeit banknotes are abundant
I just picked up a US $20 and a US$ 100 form local merchants.
Has anyone else run into any of these?

Richard,
Is there any easy way to spot a counterfeit?

On the later (current ) American banknotes the ink is magnetic and if you hold any of the new notes up to the light or use a UV light you can read the denomination on the security thread
This is the fastest way.
If you want to look under magnification, then I could list a half dozen ways on each note.

Are you going to turn them in to the secret service?
