- Trivia
Nine out of ten lawsuits in the world are filed
in the United States. A new lawsuit is filed every thirty seconds. If you own a business or practice a
profession you have one chance in three of being named a defendant in a lawsuit in the next year.http://www.bancardfinancial.com
for whom the bills toil
How does the money Checking Machine Work?
The machine checks for several
characteristics. For instance, by passing a light through it,
the changer examines your bill's gross density (my Junior
High School gym teacher would have scored high). It also uses
light rays to check the alignment of thin lines embedded in
your bill. A magnet generates a signal from the ink in your
bill and it had better match the one characteristic of the
ink used in printing real bills. The machine also measures
the exact length of your bill.
It's a good thing the bill changer doesn't also measure the
sweat on my palms while I await it's verdict. After 30
seconds I'll sign any confession it prints out.
