1000 Peso Fakes in Dumaguete

Rhoody · #1 (**permalink**) 09-25-2008, 09:36 AM

I was yesterday in a restaurant in Dumaguete and one of the manager showed me two 1000 Peso note and asked me which is the fake.
Serious, the fake looked more real than the original. Dirty, colors faded, and the "bank-typical" ball-pen-writing in the corner. It is a bit smaller than the normal
If somebody would give it to me, I would accept it as real, and most likely you could pay with that almost everywhere at the market and normal shops.

but see yourself

cheers

Tom,
we showed them to other guests and really everybody said the clean one is the fake. Maybe a clean banknote just does not seem right in the PI.
If you have none to compare you would take either one for real (like the guy who "owns" it now.
Anyway, I contacted a friend of mine who is bank-manager here in Duma to know if there is a history with those notes... I'll keep you updated about it
