Because I got it from a bank, I pretty much doubted it could be counterfeit.


Banks are a very likely place to get a counterfeit. Tellers give them right back out if they catch one in their till as they are responsible for them if they bring one in.

But I'd bet the house this one is real.

Since you have your doubts do the following immediately:

The United States Secret Service recommends if you receive a counterfeit:

Do not return it to the passer.
Delay the passer if possible.
Observe the passer's description, as well as that of any companions, and the license plate numbers of any vehicles used.
Contact your local police department or United States Secret Service field office. These numbers can be found on the inside front page of your local telephone directory.
Write your initials and the date in the white border areas of the suspect note.
Limit the handling of the note. Carefully place it in a protective covering, such as an envelope.
Surrender the note or coin only to a properly identified police officer or a U.S. Secret Service special agent.
If you've received a fraudulent note please submit a Counterfeit Note Report and learn to Know Your Money!



Don't ask us, we are just a bunch of people hoping to find a 1958 Wheat cent in change.

No, they are. Tellers have to pay for them if they get caught with one in their till, so if they find one, they give it out to the very next customer. Had at least a half dozen friends that worked at a bank tell me that.

Tellers deliberately put counterfeit bills back into circulation? Not at the bank I worked at for 20 years, I assure you. Teller instructions were to seize such notes if discovered in an active transaction and give the customer a receipt, then report the incident immediately to a supervisor. If discovered after the fact, it was to be reported to the supervisor. Absent anti-counterfeiting aids and instructions, such notes were never charged against the teller. Have things changed that much?

All I can say is that's what I was told by at least a half dozen bank employees I have known over the years.

I was a fairly senior executive at a major bank. Never in all my years of experience did I ever hear of a bank whose regulations DID NOT require the confiscation of a counterfeit note.

I would send it in to be graded as an error note and see what happens...
