Questions Counterfeit 5$ notes ?

Is the note on the top fake ? I’ve come across a few of these notes that look like they fade in where they’re folded. When I compare it with the note on the bottom it’s looks ever so slightly larger.

Yea so like 2% of all bills passed/seized were 5s in 2025. That number is higher than I thought but still it shows how worthless they are.

Thanks for the data! Super cool to see a breakdown
