Can this transposition be done with new style five dollar bills? Or must you use the old ones? If you must use the old ones, is this ever a bad thing as far as spectators thinking the bills are not real? Thanks

I think that if you made a gaff with the new five it wouldn't look nearly as good as the gaff does with the old 5.
I keep a set in my wallet and nobody has ever questioned the 5 because it's not a new one. Old fives are still fairly common so nobody questions it. I'd keep making them up with the old 5 until we get a new one dollar bill that matches the five more closely. Dave |

I agree with David. I don't believe it would look as good. It is really becoming difficult to find the old fiver's around here, especially in decent condition. Someday I think they will become obsolete and comeplety out of circulation. Then they might look strange to people who haven't seen them.

I made one that looks grea with the new 5, but it took some modification. Without giving too much away: I ran the gimmick to the edge of the bill, not to the aprox. 1/4 inch in as per the original. I then put a slight bend in it to allow it to "pop" open naturally to compensate.
Hope that helps. I have never seen a cleaner, fairer version than Roger's. |

Thanks for sharing Bsears. That is exactly what I had in mind to try. I have a few made up with older bills, but they won't last forever. I am going to make one up with the new bills soon.I don't quite understand what you mean about the slight bend, but I guess I will when I foolwith it. I agree with you about Roger's version. It is great.
