No, my comment is accurate. The bank used to get 1-2 counterfeit bills per year turned in to the Feds (yes, the Secret Service). This year alone, they have had about 10 counterfeit bills already. That is a pretty significant increase in anyone's book.
I don't understand why you can't understand what was written and resort to invective to reply. You style of response does not negate the logical conclusion of my accurately relayed message -- counterfeiting is UP.
LOL.
Anecdotal “evidence” is totally useless. It could be 100 branches and it would still be ridiculous.
Tighten up your tin-foil, it seems to be loose.
When I was revisiting SoCal a couple months ago, ran into a weird situation. Was at a Mobil On the Run Gas Station, and the guy in front of me gave the counter clerk a $100. He spent about 2 minutes looking at the bill. Then the customer got irate. And they had a verbal altercation that lasted more then a few minutes. Learned from the clerk that many counterfeits had been showing up in the So Cal area. He had just had his pay docked for taking a counterfeit. So he was not gonna take squat from any customer.
