There are none, you're on you own if some one gives you some.

$100, and $50.  THe smaller denominations are less likely to be counterfeit because they are less profitable, so they do not put the counterfeit-proof measures in the smaller denominations.  http://www.treasury.gov/usss/counterfeit.shtml

MSN.COM has information.  I did a graph of the Euro as an example.  However, most people who play with Forex lose money.  Watch out for the scammers. (See Link 3)

Excellent question. First contact your bank and sign an Affidavit of Forgery. This will do two things. First, the bank should reimburse your account. Secondly, a copy of the Affidavit of Forgery needs to be taken to the law enforcement agency of the city where the forgery took place. The bank should be able to help you and the police in showing where the forgery took place. This is very important as the location of the incident determines who has jurisdiction.\n\nNext, get a copy of your bank statement for the police. The police will also need the check which was forged. Please do not handle the check. Have it placed in an envelope as the check will have to be processed (fingerprinted). When you make the report with the police department, help them as much as you can. They will need to know how the person obtained your check. It will probably be someone you know.\n\nAfter the police make the report, get the report number and obtain a copy of the report for your own records. BTW if this was a credit card, the police will need an Affidavit of Unauthorized use and also a copy of the account.\n\nAfter you make the report, the investigating officer will contact the business where the check or credit card was used. There will probably be video of the suspects. This will help in identifying the suspects. Also, sometimes merchants will acquire a photo ID at the time of the sale and may have placed the DL or ID number on the back of the check. You would be surprised at the number of cases we see in a week.\n\nNormally, we do not do a handwriting analysis unless it is an extremely high amount. In FL, all forgeries are felonies regardless of the amount. Hope this helps.

For imports into the United States, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is responsible for monitoring conterfeits entering the country.  You'll find a great article on the topic online at the International Business Training website.\n\nHere's a summary of the article:\n\nWelcome to the brave new world where counterfeit products look as genuine as the real ones and customers everywhere are happy to pay bargain prices for branded products. In this article I will address the issues relating to counterfeit products and the driving forces that result in increased competition from knock-offs or counterfeit products. I will also offer recommendations to reduce the impact of counterfeit products on your brand image and intellectual property.

It seems that a large proportion of people have answered your first point (and very well I might add). But regarding the '20 consecutive tails' part, strictly speaking the answer is that the chances of the coin coming down 'heads' is still 50-50.  However, the chances of a coin coming down 'tails' on 20 consecutive occasions is so remote, that we would have to consider the possibility that the coin has been tampered with!

go to a library. If there is a law library near you, even better. At the library the librarian can help you find hard copies of what you  want.  You can find information about those kinds of fraud in the criminal code, but you can also find information about those in banking law.

Way too much for it to be reasonablle... but that is just my opinion.\n\ni do not know of the statistics but i want to comment on how vague the statistics can be. Just consider the many different ways it can be counted as: what get's counted and what not? (eg. loan payments for previous expenditures), where does the orginal data come from? (eg. how reliable it really is) and even small variations in the value of the club's assets can have an effect. so just consider that when looking at the raw numbers.

Nigerian scam.\nThey are coming out like a rat epidemic.\n\nMany innocent folks have lost all their money and have been killed by these scams.  Used to be they mailed letters.\nBut with the advent of the internet, they are surfacing again, in droves.  I played one of them until I got his real name.  When you have to actually sent money, they HAVE to give a name for the receipt of the money.  Once I got that... I turned him into the FBI and the authorities in his government.  FELT  GOOD>>>>

I'd love to tell you, but the only people I know with that information are currently in prison.  When they get out, I'll check, and let you know.  (BTW, study up on it - the government is monitoring online theft.  Be careful).

There is an FBI wing of money laundering.  You could report there.
