- HarHarVeryFunny 6mo agoDo you check the $20 bills the ATM spits out, or just stuff them in your wallet and spend them?
- DoctorOetker 6mo agopeople compare them to the $20 bill it spat out last time
- HarHarVeryFunny 6mo agoDo they? I certainly don't - it's just a wad of notes. I'd probably notice if the one on top didn't have a "20" on it, and that's about it. When I spend it I'm also just looking to see if it has a "20" on it.
- Ylpertnodi 6mo agoI hate speding dollars. All the bill sizes being g the same, and the colors similar. Too easy to make mistakes. I feel for the blind...how do they cope?
- HarHarVeryFunny 6mo agoI really don't know. Even as a seeing person you need to have your wits about you, and I think most people sort notes by value in their wallet. Most other countries have notes whose size and color differs by value, so it's much harder to make mistakes.
- Wingman4l7 6mo agoIn the US, IIRC they have a trusted person sort the bills by denomination for them -- like a friend or a bank teller -- and then they fold them into different orientations so they know what they've handed to a checkout clerk. No way for them to prevent being shortchanged, unfortunately.

- IIsi50MHz 5mo agoSome countries chose different physical sizes and/or embosed bumps in the corners.
- dnnddidiej 6mo agoIf I were a shopkeeper I might check $20 notes handed to me. To some extent.
- kelvinjps10 5mo agoMmm I don't even check the 100$ ones from the ATM why wouldn't you trust the bank?
- rubinlinux 5mo agoI know someone personally that received a fake $100 bill from a USBank ATM.
- gus_massa 6mo agoMy guess is that almost everyone was paying with cash, so a $1 bill was not uncommon. I don't remember the last time I paid $20 in cash. [That's like AR$30K here in Argentina. For that ammount, we mostly use credit card, debit card or one of the apps with QR.]
