Well, they may be undependable, but I bet it won't keep a business from
taking it from you on the spot. A lady at The Venetian (not where I got thrown out)
told me that yes, if the pen mark turns dark, they will confiscate the bill
and take your DL info and then call the Secret Service in to question you .
By the way, I got this same info when they took my (previously theirs)
supposedly "bogus" hundred, but that was 4 years ago and the Secret Service has yet
to show up. I think this is a possible way to cop a few extra bucks off of the
patrons in a casino, no?

They probably will take the bill regardless. But if it were to
happen to me, I would force them to document the situation for me and
to provide me with a receipt for the bill before I allowed them to
take it (unless they gave me equal compensation first). I would
insist on the receipt documenting the serial number of the
confiscated bill and any other information that could be used to
follow-up.

I would want to know if the bill was actually counterfeit and what
the verdict was from the Secret Service. If the bill turned out to
be legit, I would make sure I got my compensation.

However, my point in my initial post was really just to let Rick know
the pens were not reliable so there is little benefit for *him* to go
out and buy one for testing money. You cannot control what another
company might do to protect themselves...but you can avoid throwing
your money away on something that does not work...
