A couple of years ago, I made a purchase at a store in Mountain View and got change back, including two 20's and a 10. Later that day while I was at my bank, I deposited a check and the change I received. My bank said the machine indicated the cash was counterfeit. (and they gave it back to me). So I went to the police department and met with an officer. He looked at the bills and said they looked real, but he used some kind of a pen and it indicated the bills were counterfeit. He said, "Well, what would you like us to do?" I told him the location of the store I got the change from and he suggested I take the bills back to them and ask them to change them for real money. So I went back to the store and told them the bills they gave me were fake and the girl at the counter didn't act surprised and just gave me my money. I thought the whole thing was very odd. First the bank giving me the fake money back and then the police officer giving me the fake money back and suggesting I take it back to where I got it from. I really thought I was out $50, but that wasn't the case. I wonder if the fake money is still circulating around town.

It 's funny only if he pays his bail in cash with 20's and 100's.
I was once told to send the possible fake bill to the government (treasury). Which they then kept and sent a letter that the bill were fake.
