'Fit Bills in Other Countries

I don't want to get into too much about 'fitting bills, especially since the information has been covered in extreme detail on many forums, but I'm wondering about the passing off part of the hustle.

I've heard of people using them everywhere, including on t.v. on the Las Vegas Raw show (where they had a cop-run fence for a year before busting everyone, and someone came in and showed them how to make bills).

The question I have is... what kind of security checks do other countries use? Not necessarily banks or anything like that, but regular stores and such. Euros and Dollars are widely accepted all over the world, so I was thinking that 'fitting in another country would allow one to have a relatively luxurious vacation for little actual money.

Other ideas for passing bills:

(Mentioned on some forum somewhere): Bars. Buy a $5 drink with a $20, make $15. Put real money in separate pocket. Check for blacklights at the bar and try to do it when they're busy.

Purchasing goods off of CL, flea markets, etc. with bills and reselling them for equal or less cost. This seems like a pretty great way to pass them, especially with high-end electronics.

Drugs, escorts, etc. You won't get change back, but you get free drugs and/or sex.

So does anyone have anything to add to this? This is all purely hypothetical for a book I'm writing, btw.

    McDonald's seems to be a good place to pass $20's in this fictional story i read the other day. I would expect if you are using bills out of country, the security will be stricter and therefore you will be at more risk.

    I would fear getting caught and having to spend time in foreign prison which would probably end in anal rape by minority's.

    I would imagine using the money at any place where niggers will be taking it would work well cause they don't know what money looks like anyway.

    It all depends on the quality of the bills. If you have the connections to get supernotes, for example, you can buy things worth much more money and resell with very little worry unless you are extremely stupid about it. I personally think that's the only physical counterfeit bill hustle worth anyone's time although I realize not everyone knows anyone even close to the scheme and there are probably tons of agents trying to get suckers to buy from them instead of legit sources.

    Passing a supernote and getting a complete return will net you $30 for each $100 bill you successfully return in full, so you stand to make good profit if you are good enough at any particular thing to be able to resell what you buy at equal or greater value.

    Anything less becomes extremely dicey since all it takes is one decent bill check to fuck up the whole operation. If you're looking to make a quick $20 in desperation, I'd say just go to a small store where you know they don't check bills and have them break a passable $20 or $50, and don't let them get your personal info since eventually someone will realize it's fake and an investigation will happen.

    Haha, you say that but just the other day I was stopped in McDonalds because they thought my note was fake. They scanned it under the blacklight which was conveniently set up behind the cashier and after a while, just gave up and let me get on with the sale.

    When I used to work at McDonalds I remember once I accepted a fake 50$ and when it was discovered since I was working the resister I had it deducted from my pay. I was:angry:
