Also, I wouldn't say the bank was wrong to refuse to replace the bills...after all, a felon could switch the bills and the bank would have no way of knowing they were being scammed. It's just one more thing to be sensitive to, for our own protection.
Also, I would take the bills to the police and tell them where you got them. Did you get them from an ATM or inside the bank? If inside the bank, did you have to write a check for the cash, or some other thing that might have provided you with a receipt or proof of where you got the $?
