"Alright. Then I'm going to teach you now," Aaron said. He reached into his desk and then into his wallet and slid Liam two 100$ bills. "Take a look at those. Tell me what you notice." If Liam was perceptive, he might notice that one of the bills had a color shift on the number 100 while the other didn't, but to him, they were otherwise identical.

Liam studied them for a long time, determined to find something. He noticed, but only because he had looked so long and so intensely. "This ones a different color here."

Liam frowned. "One is older?" He guessed.

"It's a fake?" He asked, surprised. There was fake money?

Aaron took the one that didn't have the color shift held it up. "This is a counterfeit, which means you can't necessarily use it."

"What do you mean necessarily?" Liam picked up on the key word.

"If you're caught, most people won't take the money. If you're not caught, well. They can't stop you," Aaron said.

"Oh. So it's like a trick." Liam nodded. "Like getting someone to buy a lie."

"Sort of. Except there are concrete ways to tell if a bill is a fake. So if they check, you're found out," Aaron said. "Kind of like trying to hide something from your dad."
