Some of them have Turkish words on them; some have Chinese characters printed on them; and some have the words 'motion picture

That's funny, and might make you wonder how they get passed. But think about it, how often do you inspect a bill when given one? Usually what stands out the most is the feel. If the paper type is different the bill will feel off.
When I was a kid a bunch of poor counterfeits became available. They were rejects from people who were trying to make good fakes. One side looked good, the other side the ink had run, and it looked like it was stained. They couldn't use them, but us kids got our hands on them. We learned that if you fold them, or hand them good side up, most people didn't notice.
Sooo much candy that summer.

It is all about the feel. I hear that's another tactic, bleaching (or something) ones and printing them up as something else.

In this plastic world, I don't remember the last time I saw something over a 20 and would need to take a close look.
