The marker pens are easily fooled, and pretty much considered next to worthless by law enforcement. But they make the stores that use them feel a bit more confident.
Exactly.
The Secret Service has said they don't tell anyone not to use them, but they do say they are highly unreliable.
They think I'm crazy.
LOL!
No more crazy than them thinking the pen is going to do them any good.
Drop the penny? YES!
$100 and $50 bill? Just plain dumb!
Not being one who's got much use for $100s and $50s, I won't comment as they are not relevant to my lifestyle.
But I agree that keeping the penny when withdrawing those bill *is* dumb.
I tend to agree with dropping the nickel, but I wonder how much that would cost the consumer, over a year.
The cost to the taxpayer would be reduced, except the savings would immediately be spent somewhere else.
So no change there.
