  that most dont think about acquiring but it is a
  skill that can help you navigate the real risk of
  receiving fake bills in foreign countries or from
  disreputable sources.
• Heres what to watch out for
• Watch out for tiny exchanges in small, hole in
  the wall, places overseas. It is always safer to
  obtain cash from companies you know and trust.

• Exercise caution especially when the bills are
  in large denominations (for example, 50s and
  100s). It is more common for large denominations
  to be counterfeited rather than smaller bills.
• Get educated on what to look for in bills that
  may be counterfeit before you go. This includes
  knowing what that countries currency should look
  like. This may seem fairly obvious, but do your
  research before you go to exchange cash. Know
  that colors that the bills should come in, the
  sizes, and even the images that should be printed
  on the bills.

• Some of the warning signs to watch for include
  paying attention to the feel of the paper. While
  this may seem simple, counterfeit bills often
  feel different from real bills. The Canadian
  bills, for example, have sections on their bills
  that feel raised. Compare a real bill with a fake
  bill.

  most obvious way to recognize a counterfeit bill.

• It is also very important to exercise caution
  when you think youve received a fake bill. Do
  not attempt to return the bills to whomever has
  given it to you. Your safety is never worth the
  value of the counterfeit bill. It is safer to
  note the location of where the bill was given to
  you and to alert authorities instead of
  confronting anyone in the situation.

  and trouble, it is always wise to avoid the
  situation entirely by acquiring your cash from
  companies that you can trust.
