This is a very common way forged money gets in to circulation.
By people working on tills palming real notes and handing customers back forged notes in change or claiming them to be fake.

I would not have it as well, check the notes before the sale and giving change out is basic shop practice, anything else is extremely dodgy.

Any half decent till operator can sense all but the more sophisticated fakes. When you handle notes all day you tend to sense when one is not entirely right by texture. You feel the note, and run your fingers along the top where the Bank of England is written. I have never come across a fake good enough to have that risen.

I'm there are some out there, but i have yet to witness one.
