La verdad es que nunca veo mi dinero atentamente, y por eso no sé si una vez he pasado dinero falso, pero alguna una vez fotocopié un billete de veinte dólares, lo que he oído hablar de que es ilegal, pero nunca lo utilicé, porque sabía que era falso.

The truth is that I never look at my money closely, and therefore I do not know if I have ever passed counterfeit money, but one time I photocopied a twenty dollar bill, which I have heard is illegal, but I never used it, because I knew it was fake.
