Not sure. Visit a Federal Prison, one of the inmates there should know. They will also tell you the true value of counterfeit money.

You can, but they would be obviously identified as counterfeit by anyone who merely held them up to the light to see the words running vertically on the bill.

With a lot of work, yes it is possible. The watermark is still a five dollar bill watermark. There are also a few other test that the bill would fail.

Yes, but it will still only fool a fool when you try to spend it.

My criminal brother used to do this all the time. But he used a wet eraser. I'm not sure that bleach will do it cause I'm sure his criminal mind must have thought of that before he resorted to the eraser

And that was probably before the new bills with additional anti-counterfeit measures.
