What a surprising co-incidence took place today.
Two young boys had come for some take away. They asked for what ever they needed and then I listed all the items and the price on a rough paper and totaled it. The total amount was Rs.420. I recalled the event yesterday customer who had returned the bill to make some changes in the total.
Anyway, so one of the boys gave me a note of Rs.1000 and it clearly turned out to be a fake. He was shocked when I told him that and he asked me how do I know that the note is fake. I showed him one of the many features of the currency that is hard to imitate. There was also red line marked under the unique note number. He accepted my explanation and said, ‘I am sorry. I am duped.’ He asked his friend to pay.
There are also chances that he might have tried to push the fake note to me on purpose. I can only guess.
