Does anyone know anything about the counterfeit currency that's been circulating in and around TV? We were in a retail store today and the clerk said her mother had received 3 counterfeit $100's from her bank recently. When she got to her car, she noticed they were odd, then returned to the teller; she was told that because she had left the building before discovering it, they could not replace them with genuine currency. We heard from another retailer that local establishments had been stuck with 20's and 50's recently, as well.

I guess it would be wise to double-check your currency in front of the clerk or waitperson before leaving any establishment, even your banking institution.
