<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 1293783, member: 23368&quot;]How often do you run across older bills that are stamped &quot;counterfeit&quot; by the bank? I&#039;m not talking modern paper currency but colonial and pre-civil war. I understand when banks issued their own currency, neighboring state banks who recieved out of state bills, did this as a common practice in order to get their own currency into the local market. Also, with many bank failings, the local banks would do this when an unfamilar bank note came through their bank? So some bills stamped counterfeit were done so as a precaution and for business purposes, even on legitmate paper currency. Is this fact or just fiction?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
