They do worse than that too. I use to have a business and deposited a lots of cash. Every now and then they would send me a letter saying that I had deposited a bad bill. But at the time they said nothing. My money was mixed up and put in the drawer mixed up with a bunch of other people's money. Yet they somehow determined later down the line that I had given them a bad hundred dollar bill and they took it out of my account. I had no recourse they said. I think they just went down the list of businesses taking turns sticking people.

NoStroke. she was acting guilty for basically getting caught trying to pass a phoney 100 on me.
I doubted that she got the money from the bank as she mentioned when she cashed a check. But, that is why I told her that if she had received the 100 from the bank, to take it back and deal with them.
Hindsight, I should have taken a sharpie and wrote counterfeit on it but without the Gold stamp on the 100, it would have made it difficult for her to pass it off anywhere else.
Thats why I said she was freaking a bit when I took my thumb nail and scratched the entire stamp off, pretty much ruining her chances anywhere else.
In Canada, we has plastic money now. Its going to take a lot of work to duplicate those I imagine.
Its actually quite durable. I fold my money in half and pocket it. It folds up nicely enuff but still won't crease enuff to ruin the bill.
Just starting to see tens and fives out now.
