You can buy a pen that detects fake bills. They sell them in papelerias or on Mercadolibre (lapicera para detectar billetes falsos.

You mean a taxi driver took 2 counterfeit 100's off you and you never heard from him again?

Coincidentally its also where my mates got rid of their dodgy banco galacian 50's a few years ago.

poor taxi drivers.

Hmmm, that sucks.

I estimate I handled about 79,000 ARS while in Arge, mainly in $100s and I'm gonna guess I got some fake
ones but never actually noticed/wherever I spent them did.

I was talking with my friend/roommate's friend and we were debating the ethics of him getting rid of fake
hundred USD bills, he sold a phone and got $500 USD, all benjamins, all fake.

I funny thing (ironic funny) is if Argies inspected their bills like they do USD they'd have less, but hey, what do
I know.

whenever I have fake bills, I never try to pass them on but just destroy them.

The one I got I kept it as a souvenir

Yeah, I had to think about what to do with fakes as well. To me, it showed me that a place can corrupt someone, at least to an extent, when I thought "why the hell not try to pass it off? Everyone else seems to including banks and taxis." Fortunately for my karma I decided that I wasn't going to screw other people just because people screwed me. I had a small collection (three times I got 100s, but a number of 5s, 10s and 20s) going but I lost them a few years ago in a move (I guess - haven't seen them in some time). Hope someone else didn't end up with them and try to pass them!

Keep the fake ones to give to the next person that robs you.

I have a fake 10 that I use as a bookmark now. Haha... remember those days when it was actually WORTH faking a 10?????

A year from now 100s will not be worth faking and the problem will be over.
The new problem will be hauling your backpack full of money to go food shopping.
1 kilo of 100s = 1 kilo of medialunas
I can not wait for the new Madonna or Maradona 500s
