[QUOTE="Fjpod, post: 2802552, member: 85364"]My counterfeit story....or more correctly stated....non-counterfeit story: I went to the bank to deposit several hundred dollars from my business (I know, my first mistake,right?). The teller singled out one of the hundreds as fake. He said it felt fake. It also failed his machine test once, but it passed other times. He stamped it with a big red "counterfeit" stamp and gave it back. He said I was "stuck". So I looked over the bill. Everything was perfect except the bill was a bit dirty and it felt like somebody had ironed it between two pieces of waxed paper. All the security features were perfect. Being a bit of a currency collector I knew them all. The teller knew some of them but he said he was aware that many of them could be faked and he didn't trust the bill. I marched over to the manager and said that I did not accept the determination that my bill was counterfeit and that I was out $100. After waving around my "good customer" status, the manager finally agreed to send the bill off to the Secret Service for verification. It came back about a month later as authentic but mutilated because of the red stamp the teller had placed on the bill. The SS stamped the bill with a big black stamp that said, "authentic mutilated note. Do not transact". The bank had to credit my account. I should have reported the teller for mutilating authentic currency. Lol.[/QUOTE]
