Some staff have refused because they thought the money was fake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The notes are described as:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rougher texture (first thing usually noticed)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Slightly faded in colour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Clear glittery edges on the note<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>When scrunched the note creases (unlike the real note) and a fine powdery residue comes off on your hand making the note look more glittery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The notes get rejected by poker machines and won\u2019t feed, which is often the excuse to get
