How to Spot Counterfeit Banknotes
Sep 24 2009 The Telegraph
Our 17-year-old son, who is studying for his exams, withdrew £2,216 from his Isa (individual savings account) in cash from Barclays Bank. Included in the sum were 2 x £1,000 of £20 notes within the enclosed paper band.
After walking to Halifax bank to pay this sum into his account, he was informed that one counterfeit £20 note was found when the cashier weighed the bundle.
He immediately returned to Barclays' customer service, where he was told he should have checked all the notes before leaving the bank. We feel this is an impractical suggestion not only for the time it would have taken but how would he know what a counterfeit note looks like?
