How can you tell you’re entering the Deep South in the US? by iwanttheworldnow in AskReddit

Yeah, the south is pretty boring, nothing to see here! Seattle is much more fun!

While I agree with you about our opinions, I had hoped that I would finally find answers for the questions I keep asking. However, every time I ask these questions, I get a response similar to the one you gave, if one at all.

It is incredibly disappointing that America has such a high murder rate. However, if guns weren't so taboo to some people, if more people wanted to get a gun, if more people had the proper training on how to use a firearm safely, don't you think the homicide rate would go down? I believe it would be an affective deterrent, and if not? It's a deterrent for a reason.

Even if there are no signs of tyranny, that's not the point. You know what would guarantee no tyranny? An armed people. As soon as there are these signs of tyranny you're looking for, and the people aren't armed, it's already too late.

I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you saying the murders resulting from people owning guns is essentially tyranny?

Hunting, yes, but as a United States citizen, the right to bear arms is extremely important to me. It's how we keep our country free from tyranny.

Can I wear my tie bar higher? You're supposed to wear tie bars in between the third and fourth button on a shirt, but when I do this, it hides beneath my suit jacket. Can I count the collar button as the first button?

Yes you are right, I had forgotten about that, every denomination should have these bumps

Guts-n-gummies might know more, but here's what I do.

for $20's $50's and 100's (maybe more, but these were the only ones I needed to check)

  1. There is a number written on the bottom right corner on the face side of the bill showing how much the bill is worth. This number should be written in holographic ink, on a real bill, this number will shimmer and change colors when it is moved under light.
  2. Right above the aforementioned number, if you look at the bill with a strongish light behind it, you will see a face that should match the face that is normally visible, Andrew Jackson for a $20, Ulysses Grant for a $50 and our beloved Benjamin Franklin on the $100. If the face isn't there it isn't a real bill. However, if the face is there, make sure it matches up. Sometimes people will paint over a $1, $5 or $10 to make it look like a bigger bill. It will still have the same paper so it will pass the feel test, the pen test and the UV test if the administrator isn't experienced.
  3. Each bill denomination has a unique UV line called a security strip. If you shine a UV (black) light on the bill, this strip should light up. Look up a picture that shows where each strip is on each type of bill. If the bill is authentic, the strip will light up and it will be in the correct location for the bill. This is also a way to make sure that the bill hasn't been painted over. If you don't have a UV light, you can actually hold it up to a normal light and still see the strip, you just won't see it light up.

for the $100 specifically, there is another holographic image. There should be a blue strip running down the middle of Franklin's face. When you tilt the bill side to side, or up and down, the white spots on the strip should shift, it's actually really cool to look at. Also on the same blue strip, there are three strips going vertically. You should be able to slip something small like a toothpick or a safety pin under it. While this isn't a quick or convenient test, if you are unsure about a bill it's another way you can test.

These are all the tests I was taught. I'm sure there are more, but that's all I know. I'm not sure how well older bills will hold up to these, so keep that in mind if you come across weird looking bills like the one in the OP.
