Spotting Counterfeit Money Bank Give Out Fake $100 Bills

"Tellers usually have to pay for counterfeits found in their drawer, so if they spot it, they get rid of it on the next customer."

I don't think so.

If a teller knowingly passes a counterfeit bill to a customer there is a good chance they WILL lose their job for that fraudulent action. Knowingly passing counterfeit currency incoming or outgoing is a crime. (Key word is "knowingly")

If a teller follows the banks established verification procedures regarding cash deposits they cannot be held liable if a bill later turns out to be counterfeit.

Yeah... They used to process highest $ debits first to get the account negative. Once it was negative, the many smaller debits were just like "sopping up the gravy". It was not unusual to see people get hit for 35$ NSF fees on 3$ debits. (And they wonder how the banking industry got such a bad name!)

I think the oversight agencies started cracking down on them a few years so they have kinda backed off. Anyway, the Feds found bigger fish to fry when the housing fiasco came along a few years later.

Thanks for sharing!!
