Part of the training to be a US Secret Service agent includes learning to detect counterfeit money. Agents-in-training make a thorough study of the genuine bills – not the phonies – so that they can spot the fake currency immediately because of its contrast to the real thing.

Today many are being led astray because they don’t recognize how they are being deceived. So, let’s handle the real thing as often as possible.
