Re: forged £20 note
Probably not seeing as how it's a day later, no harm in going to the bank and explaining what has happened.

Re: forged £20 note
They are supposed to confiscate forged notes so not sure what they will do.

Re: forged £20 note
Not sure how you'd prove you got it from there unless you went straight in and told them?
I know when our cash machine is filled all notes are checked. Its really easy to tell if they are fakes, so i'd assume they hadn't been checked.

Re: forged £20 note
The problem is proving that it came out of their machine and especially a day later and the banks are instructed to confiscate forgeries without recompense by the Bank of England.
Its a catch 22 situation to say the least.

Do you mean what goes in the machine or just known forgeries.

No idea but cannot see them doing that as they would have a record of the forgeries and that would flag up.
It makes you wonder if the banks deliberate seed the machines with fakes to get rid of them.

it is quite obvious that it is a forgery when placed next to other notes but when looked at on it's own it just looks slightly worn ,this is one of the new ones aswell with all the security features it's only the paper quality that lets it down
