(posting from a friend's account while uok is down)

I doubt that the teller lost her job just because one counterfeit
bill got past her.  Having worked as a teller, I know that $20 bills
come in in huge quantities from business deposits, and the procedure
for counting them involves bending the ends back, not taking the
packets apart and inspecting the centers, which would take forever.
Thus the practice of tearing the corners off a $20 and pasting them
onto a $1.  The clerk at the store should've caught it, though.
