Whenever i am at a store, bar, restaurant, or anyplace where you buy things, and someone uses a $100 bill the cashier puts it up to the light to check if it is fake. What are they really looking for? How do they figure out if it is a fake just by holding it up to the light?
**the most commonly counterfeited U.S. dollar is the $20 bill
Well. All real dollar bills (besides the one dollar) has certain "watermarks" that identify them as real. These watermarks can be only seen when held up to light. The most common watermark is a strip saying "US 20 Dollar Bill" or something like that. And there are many others you can find. I'm not sure if a $100 bill has a watermark or not but the purpose of it is to see if it's counterfeit.
I use a special marker to determine if a bill is counterfeit or not. I draw a smiley face, and if it turns into a frowny face, then the bill is fake. So far no counterfeits!

Can you draw other pictures? Like a banana into a peel?
Looking at a bill in the light reveals the caricature of the person on the bill. Look at a $100 bill in the light and you will see a picture of Ben Franklin off to the side. Counterfeit bills simply print what is on the bill but not what's in it.
Sometimes my dad gets fake quarters and stuff cause they keep getting passed around and accepted cause people only do that to see if the 100's are fake. Fake Quarters work in soda machines.

thats why 20s are the most commonly counterfeited
and that reminds, my friend thinks he knows the "manual override" to all coke machines. He presses a code of the buttons from top to bottom. I think he is lieing tho.

There actually is a sequence of button presses that grants you access to what is basically the debug menus of Coke machines. Most of the machines have the access locked to any of the actual features though. In other words, you can get to the menu, but you can't do anything like dispense change or drinks. I guess if you're really lucky you can find an unlocked one, but I'm fairly certain they're locked in-factory. I've tried all the machines on my campus, and I can only access the menu, nothing more. Code does work though.
On topic, as said by everyone else, yeah, there's a watermark in the bill, as well as some changes in the numbers when held in the light with the newer bills. If you're going to counterfeit, counterfeit ones. No easy way to tell if they're fake, and you can make a lot of them.
I went to gamestop and got some games the total cost was 80$. He then called the police when I gave him 80$ I think it went wrong because it was an 80$ dollar bill.
