They use the starch/iodine reaction to leave a brown mark if starch is present.<br /><br />Problem being, the counterfeiters are mostly wise to that, long ago. And if a real note gets starch on it then it reacts. I have heard of people who think it's funny to get a load of new notes from a cash dispenser and spray them with starch. Then they pay them back into the bank.<br /><br />If only life were as simple as it should be.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-17811042117623115082012-12-11T18:35:58.966+00:002012-12-11T18:35:58.966+00:00Ouch, Niko.

Nothing much, just a few pounds here or there.<br /><br />If someone complained then he was to apologise profusely and refund the money, but it was the area manager's experience that few people would actually notice.<br /><br />Mind you, you'd have to move up the social scale a bit before people wouldn't notice £70.<br /><br />(What did they say you'd bought Niko...
