Real dollar or fake?
my shift manager took a dollar out of my drawer because to her it looked fake. I was a little suspicious myself because of the uneven side cut but I do know the "silver certificate "bills are a real thing. So I was wrote up a dollar short because she took it out. Is there any way to know if it would be real or fake? It has a blue seal, apposed to the now typical green, but its also cut uneven ?

The Silver Certificate may be worth some money due to its uncentered cut and the condition looks good. Have it appraised.

It is a silver certificate and it is worth some money. Ask the local gold and coin shop. Nobody but an idiot would make fake dollars. There is no reason to fault you or your manager . Both too young to know anything about silver certificates. In the future, take anything suspicious to the bank. They have a procedure set up with the Federal Reserve Office in your state to check out fake currency. Uneven cuts are common.

It's genuine. It's a silver certificate that was issued until back in the 1960s.

She probably knew and the grossly uneven border makes it even a touch more valuable if it was in reasonable condition. As far as getting written up I would have her make good on the missing dollar, or tell her boss since she is dishonest and they should know. She could have easily put a dollar in the till and avoided any questions.

It sounds like your manager is either an idiot or a crook. If an idiot, she didn't know that silver certificates are an obsolete form of cash that today is considered a valuable collectable, If a crook, she did.

It does look like a silver certificate. They usually have borders like that as well. I think it's a genuine dollar. Your manager may have assumed it wasn't because those are rare and most people haven't seen or notices them before. I assume someone takes the money to the bank regularly, so you could always have the bank verify - see if they'll let you deposit or not.
