I was watching the local news tonight from Orlando and they had a story regarding Counterfit Disney Dollars. They said they are in the WDW parks and a memo had been sent out to all Disney employees... here is what I found on Mouse Planet. Be careful everyone when buying these from sources other than Disney itself. I've seen Disney Dollars on EBay so they could be real or they could be one of the fakes going around, just a heads up...Sad!
"Walt Disney World has released an internal security memo informing cast members that counterfeit Disney Dollars have appeared in the resort. According to the memo, these fakes are realistic-looking color copies of the real bills. However, while genuine Disney Dollars are printed with shiny color-reflective dots near Tinkerbell, the counterfeits have glitter glued around the area. The memo notes that this glitter can be felt by touch, and we assume the fakes use inferior paper and lack the lightly raised ink of real Mouse currency.
As counterfeiting becomes easier with technology, Disney may be facing the same issuesalbeit at a smaller levelas the U.S. Secret Service in keeping one step ahead of counterfeiters."
