In Reply to: US Dollars. posted by jerryatric on Sunday, 7. March 2010 at 15:23 Bali Time:
US dollar notes are the most forged currency in the world and are unfortunately amongst the most easy to be forged. In Australia, we never even consider that notes might be counterfeit but our currency is world leading in security measures. My experience with US dollars around the world has been very different with many merchants suspicious, particularly with higher values and $100s in particular, and using any excuse to knock back a note here or there. I'm not sure if this is true but I was told last year by a Singapore money-changer that 20% of the US currency circulating around in the world is counterfeit. Regards, Luke.
