Marked bills are U.S. currency police officers use when they try to buy illegal items, usually drugs. The police record the serial numbers of the bills before they use them, often by photocopying the bills. After the purchase, the police try to make a quick arrest. If the suspect is caught with the marked money on him, it makes for a strong case.

What does it mean to have unmarked bills?
