🧑‍🤝‍🧑 / 🏡 Explain this one to me. A $10 bill, with blue stains.

[TerryP]

I was in the liquor store yesterday buying some Christmas gifts. The lady in front of me got her change and one was a $10 bill. The bill was stained, like the title of this thread. Blue/purple color. It was like a blueberry stain on a kitchen cloth; unmistable stain.

Do you think I'm right in assuming exploding dye pack? That is what we all thought.

@Krimson on our liquor Convo...

I was there to buy a bottle of wine. I dropped it off, wrapped and all, and she opened it immediately. She does everything quickly...cuming and going.

Digression...

I had a taste of Absolut Crystal last night. Two shots, mixed with fresh juice over ice. All I can say is damn. It was smooth. Literrally, laid a friend out like they'd just smoked kind for the first time. I felt it and I have the tolerance of Andre the Giant: and I have not had a "hard drink" in over a year.

I understand it is a tad over $1000 a bottle. GOOD SHIT!

I bought her a 2006 bottle of Sine Qua ... it's a Rose. If the wife likes wine...Total Wine had it for $99 this weekend. It's a $300 bottle, retail. One glass

Nothing wrong with a fast achiever.

I don't mind paying for good liquor but I've never tried a clear liquor I'd pay a grand for. I'd try a shot though if I find it out somewhere.

I'll see if there's a total wine around Gainesville, just got here yesterday. Gotta do a college tour on my way to key west.

If you can spend it anyway, why bother with the dye? Looks like the cashier would've notified the cops.

@TerryP that was my though went you said she got it back in chance. Now she going to have to use it.

It was the liquor store owner, me, and her talking about that bill. It's just...well, weird.

Some retailers will make a line on a bigger bill to look for counterfeits. Something about how the ink adheres to the bill (US currency is not paper. It’s a blend of cotton and linen)

My local ACE does that on every bill greater than a 10

Don't it not show up?

From Google:
Retailers use markers to detect counterfeit bills by checking the ink reaction against the paper's composition, particularly on larger bills like $20 and above. The ink turns a specific color (or stays a certain color) on genuine bills, but changes to another color on counterfeit bills that are not printed on the special paper used by the U.S. Treasury.

I was just getting ready to say some bills get stained when they are checked for being counterfeit. I know we marked anything over a ten when I was AD and some of them ended up with that blueish stain.

That’s assuming she gave a crap in the first place. I’m in retail stores all day and, I’m not exaggerating, when I say the majority of the retail workforce doesn’t care, especially, union workforce. #show me the money!

Thank goodness its not brown stain.

It looks like Kool Aid was split...or, a jug of bleach. I wanted the bill. She said she wasn't spending it ... going to put it in a frame as a joke.
