They probably used ruble bills and printed on top of them to save them the cost of buying paper.

^^^^ Funny stuff. Never heard of counterfeiting 5s & 10s - why bother considering that the penalties are usually quite stiff. Reminds me of something I read after the Iron Curtain went down - anyway some Polish guy got 50 years hard time & a $800,000 fine for counterfeiting 100s of millions of Polish Zlotys in Miami. They were worth like $3500. The ultimate Polack joke.

The notes look very real. Is there an easy way you can whether the note is counterfeit on the spot without using sophisticated tech? I never paid attention when received change nor can tell the difference unless is paper note is obvious.

Some copiers & ink jet printers were so good that the Secret Service got importation banned. There's security tapes, water marks, & color changing inks, but it's tough to get the right feel with the paper, rag, or whatever it is. The best bleach out 1s and print 100s on them.

Because how many people/businesses actually bother to thoroughly check small denominations? $100 bills yes, $50's sometimes...5's and 10's never.

Haha, touche! Should've said "5's and 10's hardly ever". Unless as you said, they were really crap fakes.
