OK, not extremely old, but you'll all cringe at this story.
My sister works for a bank in FL and pulls things out for me.
One of the tellers at her branch came across a 1950 $20 bill and was thoroughly convinced it was counterfeit. She marked it all up with the "counterfeit pen" and the fact that the ink was black convinced her even more. So off to the secret service it went only to come back a week later with a letter stating it's genuine. Only then, was my sister able to buy it. For those that don't know, when you report a bill as counterfeit, you are required to write your name and date on the bill too.
I haven't seen it yet, so I'm hoping my sister was exagerating about the extent of the counterfeit pen marks.
