(posting from a friend's account while uok is down)
I seriously object to hp-pcd!john's suggestion that a bank would
slip a counterfeit bill into a night deposit to pass the loss off
to a customer.  Having worked in the banking business, I can inform
you that the bank is much more interested in locating the source of
the counterfeiting than avoiding a miniscule monetary loss.  If they
can't discover who they got the bill from they certainly wouldn't
set the investigators off on the wrong track!

The loss for the bill would just be written off, as it is when tellers
miscount. A single $100 dollar bill hardly makes much difference to 
the bank's profit.
