As you say there's just to much of a hit to take if the note does turn out to be a fake.<br /><br />Having said that, in almost six years of trading, and paying in cash twice a week at the bank, I don't ever recall the cashiers giving the notes anything more than a cursory glance as they counted them at lightning speed. Certainly none of the checks you describe were applied. <br /><br />This might explain why banks themselves have been known to give out dud notes, both over the counter and via their ATM's.
