Haha, not a scam. I asked a judge at my local card shop and they told me they're fakes, but good fakes.
At least there was some other cards in the box that weren't fake that made it not a complete waste. I'm just wondering why would you proxy the cheapest card of the nine.

Just because a $5 bill is the 3rd lowest bill the United States it's still the #1 most to counterfeit. Same reasons would apply....most people check to see autehnticity of a $100 bill, or a Lotus...you might be able to pass along a fake twister, and easily a $5, without much of a second look.

while the $20 note is the most commonly encountered counterfeit bill in the United States, the $100 note is the most common counter fit bill in worldwide circulation.

It appears that the $20 note is typically the bill most likely to be attributed to being counterfeited in various factoids without that distinction. However, in journalistic articles that feature quotes attributed to representatives from the United States Treasury Department and the United States Secret Service the $100 note is cited as the most commonly counterfeited in world wide circulation.
