[QUOTE="NOS, post: 4905653, member: 2098"]Today I went to exchange $800 at a bank from ones and twenties for hundreds. The teller took quite a while for a modest exchange like this. She eventually retrieved a decent number of hundreds from a dispenser that was to her right. Then she took the bills and did some maneuvering out of her drawer that was below and out of my view. She then ran the hundreds through a counter that was in front of us, verified that the amount was good, and then in an unusual fashion she placed them into an envelope and handed it to me. This was unusual as usually tellers ask if you want the bills to be placed into an envelope. This is what I received: [ATTACH=full]1183512[/ATTACH] It is clear the teller did not want me to see the older generation of $100 notes because, while she wanted to be rid of them, she feared I would not accept them so she sandwiched them between new bills and then placed them into the envelope. She has apparently suffered some kind of trauma or difficulties in the past when it comes to distributing bills that are of an older design. Little did she know that I will often ask for older designs like this when I see that a teller has them in their drawer. So from this recent example we can see how strange the public is about accepting and ultimately using bills that are of a design that was commonplace until not all that long ago.[/QUOTE]
