it may have certain markings on it removed. I've seen checkers hold it up to
the light to look for a watermark or a thin line or something. Maybe you
could look it up on the web about counterfeiting.

A bad $20 is that one you stuck in that pole dancer's G-string last
week.

A good friend works for a local bank that goes through lots of
paper money. She says you feel the ridges on the left collar/
lapel of the portrait. I have to work at it, but she says ladies'
fingers have no trouble feeling them. This is apparently faster
than the pens, holding to a light, etc.

When I was working as a cashier, I got slipped a couple counterfeits.
They were of an amazing quality, and they passed the "marker test"
the thing I noticed initially is that the paper felt...wrong,
somehow. Almost like waxed paper. We took it (after it passed the
worthless pen test)
but it got caught by the bank.

30+ years ago I worked for a savings and loan. The tellers had an
ultraviolet light that they used to detect fake bills; they'd stand
out quite clearly, I was told. Modern counterfiters may be able to
beat that test though.
