Today has been one of those days. I cashed a check at my bank this afternoon, and then gave my MIL one of the $100 bills that I got there. She took it to her bank to deposit it, and they told her it was counterfeit!!!! I took it back to my bank and told them that it was (which they should have caught in the first place) and they basicly told me there was nothing they could do about it!
I have to take it back up there Tuesday to let the head honcho look at it since she's on vacation this week. Then they might give me another hundred dollar bill. I couldn't believe it. The last place you expect to get counterfeit money is from your bank! Luckily enough, we're not hard pressed for that hundred bucks, but it could have just as easily been someone who couldn't have made it until Tuesday without it.
The worst part of it all was that the woman at the bank told me, that yeah it was counterfeit, but it passes the pen test, so if I wanted too I could just go spend it and get my money that way!!! Umm hello, isn't that a felony?? I'm definately thinking of switching banks. This is unreal.
