Plot Twist: You get arrested for using counterfeit money, the date on the money is probably invalid in 1980.
Now I’m genuinely curious if a bank would catch it if you tried using cash from the future. If there wasn’t a redesign, do they check serials and stuff if every other security measure is present?
Yeah, for US money the serial number is prefixed with a letter to donate the year it’s from and the note also has a series year for the actual design printed on it.
Money has evolved a lot since the 1980s so modern money would be obvious. And banks in the 80s would probably be pretty hot on money fraud as hard case was so central to the economy.
A better option would be to collect money printed prior to the year you wanted to time travel to. It’s unlikely they would be able to detect duplicates of real money already in circulation elsewhere in that time. But it might be hard to fine money that old in large volumes as so much gets taken out of circulation and replaced with new money every year.
$1mm in 2014 invested in dogecoin would be worth more. Bitcoin in 2010 would be extra stupid crazy rich.
Also, Apple was probably cheaper to buy in the mid 90’s just before Bill Gates saved the company for Steve Jobs than it was in 1980. You didnt want apple stock before they cane up with the ipod. It went down to 10 cents a share in December of 1997.
$1MM to 1980, invested into Apple.

Yeah, that’s not suspicious at all
Why are you assuming I’d be dumb enough to use post-1980 currency?
Where the fuck do you plan to get $1M of pre-1980 money? Just bring 20 bitcoins.
Figure out what was needed to be able to use large amounts of gold at the time without suspicion to avoid the printed moey issue.

Maybe, but I’d rather not feed the bullshit fad.
The apple fad, dogecoin fad, or bitcoin fad? Also, selling billions worth of dogecoin or bitcoin or even enough Apple, will crash the fad.
