    Ngl every time I use an ATM I think

    “What if it gives me fake money?”

    “If I go into the bank and complain no one will believe me.”

    “Or worse what if they think I am trying to scam them!?”

      Your story would be verifiable. Unless somehow only one fake bill slipped into a ream. But generally if it put out one fake bill, it’ll have alot more inside. It’s not like they are loaded one bill at a time. And generally they get fresh printed currency when possible, to reduce the chance for jams.

        I don’t think that’s true the bills are rebound they don’t use stacks of new money each time they refill it, however whatever checks they use to ensure it’s real money is enough to catch 99% of all counterfeits and if not it’s going to be good enough that you and whoever you give it to won’t notice.
