I love your idea and your logic here. LOL Thanks!

TSW Regular user Ohio, USA 108 Posts	Posted: Nov 1, 2012 04:27 am 0 I'm intrigued about the prospect of doing a routine with two identical bills, right down to the same serial number. Is there an affective way to cleanly remove the last digit of the serial numbers, from two bills in series, and then age them? Or am I guilt of some kind of conspiracy for thinking about it? Does anyone have any advice or experience with this? Thanks, TSW

LOL I agree! Your brother-in-law is just being a jerk to get a rise out of you. A judge would laugh a case like this right out of the courtroom.
