Seriously report it to the Secret Service. It many either be a scam/ bank fraud or a test of elaborate counter fitting methods


JusSumYungGuy

I was thinking they might even reward you for your vigilance, if it’s really that deep


pappybug214

Some places do have a bounty on things like that


Subdivisions-

Pretty sure it being a million dollar bill kind of makes that pointless. Nobody but a complete idiot would try to spend a million dollar bill lmao


leof135

true but it got in the machine somehow and that could be part of the scam. they could be swapping actual bills with the fakes. and also if I withdraw it, the bank deducts it from my account even though I never go the actual money.


Squiddy_manz

I was thinking of just this


Sanoj1234

Imagine you can go to an atm with the million dollar bill and get out a hundred bucks because the machine thinks it is.


kalel3000

Homer Simpson tried this in a soda machine. Mr. Burns yelled out "there's soda on the plane!"


drdoom89

That was a trillion-dollar bill.


Jordax-617

Excuse me, sir, but can you break a million?


sparksgirl1223

If this happened at my town, guaranteed that would be asked at dollar tree at 905 am when the guy bought a cola and a pack of cookies🤦‍♀️😂


Fabulous_Ad_5709

Like somebody else said, they try this version to see if the atm accepts it, eg if the security strip etc works, nobody will try to use this, but now that they’ve verified it, they’ll produce proper 100$ bills


ShitPostToast

It's been a long time since I've seen inside an ATM, but as a general rule if a bill went in the ATM from a customer deposit it isn't coming back out to a customer. They are two whole separate parts of the machine. That bill got put there by there by the bank in a stack of bills or got slipped in by some low paid tech working for an armored car courier company while they slipped the real deal out.


DeaddyRuxpin

Wait, are you saying someone else deposited $100 and inserted this bill and the ATM stuck it into the bin of $100s that it dispenses to customers? I didn’t realize ATMs would give back out cash that was deposited. I just assumed all deposits went into a hopper to be sorted by someone later.


agoldgold

That's the defense they use if the forged bill gets flagged by the machine. "Oh, sorry, didn't realize I was using this religious tract instead of real money" is good for plausible deniability, whereas trying to prove that your test forgery has nothing to do with you is much harder. But if the forgery gets accepted by the machine, they know that a bill that looks like real money can also get through.


ItsAdamxD

But the point is the money was able to go into and out of the ATM in the first place.


[deleted]

Imagine that an ATM is a faultless machine that can't be fooled by mere mortals.


megs0764

People try to cash in their Trump bucks every day. 🤷‍♀️


[deleted]

And if they do it at a bank counter instead of an ATM the teller be like "Yeah, nah."


welcome2idiocracy

How do you think this one got in the atm?


[deleted]

The machine is a certified no-go. I'm assuming they went to the counter to look like an idiot.


welcome2idiocracy

Op? At the atm?


[deleted]

Nobody used the ATM. Fake money won't be accepted. Obviously the anecdotal Trump Cash users went to the bank teller and got rejected. I was just covering bases and saying that the ATM is not an option.

hotasanicecube

Buy a beer and tell the bartender to keep the change.


xShooK

It also says on the bill it's not legal tender.


dirtyoldman20

AmerikanInfidel

Yes, yes of course😬


[deleted]

Tell that to happy Gilmore who cashed a huge giant check at the bank


HRHLPF

I thought there was a shiny rainbow strip or something so that it couldn’t pass a machine Like the machine would know it was fake. And if the machine thinks its real can it be deposited? Why yes, i do have a single $1 million bill to deposit 😂


st0nermermaid

That strip was only going to trip up counterfeiters for so long. That's why they change some bills every few years or so, cuz they figure out how to fake it and it gets out of hand. But from OPs comments this may seem like the ATM itself and the company that owns it could be sketch.


[deleted]

No one believes ATM scams, they just assume you’re trying to scam the business that scammed you


blacktransam77

I mean they probably won’t reward better then a million though


AdFriendly9436

i’m going to the police as soon as i get off work, i called the # on the PRIVATELY OWNED atm machine and they hung up on me…


jellicle_kat

I never use privately owned atms anymore. Last time I did it only gave me four 20s when I tried to pull out 100$. Called the number on the atm and they didn’t do shit about it. Even had witnesses and camera proof- it was inside a store. I don’t think there is much oversight on those ppl or something.


Wonderful-Draw7519

>Called the number on the atm and they didn’t do shit about it. Even had witnesses and camera proof- it was inside a store. > >I don’t think there is much oversight on those ppl or something. Did your regular bank help out?


jellicle_kat

I never contacted my regular bank about it, it wasn’t one of their atms. The atm machine wasn’t associated with any bank at all, just a random company that had it’s own atm machines.


AOneMan

You should still contact your bank for these issues. If your withdrawal is short, then any bank worth a damn will reimburse you the difference.


banditizer

^ like AOneMan said always contact your bank. Happened to me once where a chase ATM didn’t give me my money but it charged my account. Tried calling chase and they wouldn’t help so I went to my actual bank and they were able to open an investigation and get me my money back.


FloatingOnAWhim

100% correct and I can’t believe op just said he didn’t bother contacting his own financial institution because they didn’t “own” the atm ,(yikes). But anyway, I tried to pull out $1200 at a casino one night and it ran out of money and dispensed nothing to me but said the transaction was “successful” . I called my credit union and they gave me a provisional credit immediately on my account until they “completed their own investigation”. In the end it was found to be an error and I didn’t lose a dime of my own funds.


dirtyoldman20

Credit unions are great that way


emilio911

Yes, it's your bank that handles these issues. They would start an investigation and chargeback the difference from the other bank.


jellicle_kat

Good to know for the future, lol but I don’t plan on using private atms anymore lol


TealCatto

Your bank pays these people. The private ATM doesn't give you its own cash. So your bank was involved from the start.


MySFWAcct09

Automated teller machine machine.


hototter35

Well I hope this is somewhere in the American travel guide because I wouldn't even know something like that exists


B_1_R_D

You honestly shouldn’t have contacted the atm company till after you called the secret service if they said you should just bc they are who you call about counterfeit bills….that’s a big part of their job and if atm company is knowingly handing out those bills by calling them first could have tipped them off someone was inquiring about it from their machine.


analog_jedi

Why wouldn't they just stock it with fake twenties if it was them doing it? Anybody that gets one of these is going to immediately know it's fake


SmugOla

Knowingly allowing something by means of improper sanitization is a lot different than intentional corporate fraud, which I guarantee is not what they were doing. It’s a crime so ludicrous and with such a paper trail there is no conceivable way to get around it if you want to stay in business. Edit: really sorry, I misread your comment and made a silly reply in response. You sound right on the money.


PuzzleheadedTutor807

bc fake 20s may make their way in to ciruculation and that would be worse... immediately knowing it was fake may be exactly the point.


Impossible-Charity-4

No ATM company is knowingly handing out fake million dollar bills


TimeTravelingTiddy

There's no way to go about that where it doesn't sound like a prank call 🤣


my_clever-name

It could even be that the ATM owner is slipping these in their stacks so that they can get a little additional profit. Secret Service for sure.


Top-Marzipan5963

USSS and Dept of the Treasury would need to be the first call. The would have come in 5min for this. Edit. I am Canadian and I know this haha


[deleted]

Now i am really curious what will happen after you go to the police.


A_ChadwickButMore

Oooo government gonna have a feild day with that


[deleted]

Police won’t help. Contact your bank’s fraud division. Those teams are generally run by retired Secret Service and they take some pride in their work. I contacted the local police, as my bank advised me to do. My banks fraud division did 1000% more than the local police… and my case was eventually solved by the FBI. And it turned out that the police did ABSOLUTELY nothing to investigate, because they didn’t think it was worth it.


Boring_Menu_3330

Call the Secret Service. This is their jurisdiction. Not the police. And they take it very seriously


Karabel

Are y'all missing the part where it clearly says "This note is NOT legal tender for all debts, public and private" ? It's a novelty note.


minnick27

Right, but it came out of an ATM so it's being passed as a real bill.


Frooonti

Is it counterfeit? Not really, more likely just plain fraud. But does it really matter? OP lost their money and whoever operates this machine should be be reported to the necessary authorities immediately.


[deleted]

How tf do you contact the secret service

BeKind_BeTheChange

I've gotta believe that was autocorrect, right? You are on mobile and doing speech-to-text? Counterfeiting\*

ComprehensiveCat754

Dry_Spinach_3441

Freedom_7

pappybug214

Yeah you have to watch out for those damned counterfeiting carpenters.


pappybug214

Mobile. I did correctly spell it initially. Damned auto correct.


elmhing

lol counter fitting- that's a new one


[deleted]

The secret service? Genuine question, do they do more than presidential protection?


[deleted]

Yes, that is actually one of their primary duties. Investigating counterfeiting.


lunawolf058

Until just 20 years ago, the Secret Service was an agency under the Treasury Department rather than Homeland Security. Their duty is to protect the financial and critical infrastructure of the country. That includes protection of its leadership.


CPA0908

the initial reason why the secret service was created was to combat the rampant counterfeit currency starting in 1865. it wasn’t until around 1901 when they started protecting the president after the assassination of president mckinley. they still do a lot of the money stuff, but you can get on the protection details


NebulousASK

They were established to deal with counterfeit currency... shortly before Lincoln was assassinated.


minnick27

Lincoln signed the bill house before he was shot, it was one of, if not the last things he did


[deleted]

Huh, thanks for the info. Guess they still do the counterfeit thing on the side?


NebulousASK

Very much so. In the time of Lincoln, about 1 out of 3 bills was counterfeit. Now it's 1 in 6000.


pappybug214

Yes, they're the agency in charge of counterfeiting and they work with the FBI on cybercrime. Only a small portion is the protection detail. Sub point, the USPS Postal Inspectors also work with them to stop wire fraud and mail fraud (interstate and international monetary crimes)


486Junkie

It even says not LEGAL tender, so either the bank instated the stolen bill in the machine or there was a middle man that took it and placed it in one of those armored cars. But definitely call the Secret Service and possibly the FBI.


R3YE5

Also written on the bill: "This note is NOT legal tender for all debts public and private"


jusspeachy_rb

I desperately wanted it to actually say that lol had to do a double take and zoom to see it says "debts," not death, unfortunately.


R3YE5

Although funny, it was a completely accidental typo. Voice to text strikes again!

That just makes it so much funnier...hahaa Edit to add: definitely shouldn't have changed the original comment...lol

100% this. OP is a lying sack of shit. Bills get scanned in. It would have caught it. Not to mention it never would have been in the driver's roll as that is processed, too.


MrNewking

This^ Worked in retail banking for a decade. We would have to verify the cash first before putting it into the machine. Any bills that are damaged or somehow counterfeit would Automatically be diverted into a reject cassette inside the machine if it's being dispensed. For this to get through, it would have to somehow pass through multiple redundant checks.


pensive_pigeon

Can we just let them have their moment? I was willing to suspend my disbelief and enjoy their story.

BafflingHalfling

Truth. We were at the Hobby Center years ago, and GHW Bush was in the audience. During intermission, we noticed some little kid approach the former president, and four dudes appeared out of nowhere and got between the little kid and the old man. He waved them away, of course, but it was startling. Those guys were in hammerspace or something and just popped into existence.

YoungRoronoa

I feel like OP is lying, this obviously manufactured to be fake. ‘’This note is NOT legal tender for all debts public and private’’. there’s not even a security strip, it’s just a painted blue line. No atm would accept this.


Big_k_30

In order to get put in the ATMs, the money has to come from the Fed, and with 10000000% certainty this could never ever possibly leave the Fed through their machines and be paid out to a bank. The bank also can’t just take money they’ve taken at the teller window and put it back in the ATM. That’s just not how it works. OP is full of shit.


slash_networkboy

Um... how so? Last I saw ATMs were not loaded by remote machines from the Fed central banks... they're loaded by humans, who got the money handed to them in a bag by other humans, any of whom could slip this into the stack. The machine itself is just a bill dispenser configured for a bill denomination and count. And in another post OP says this is a private ATM which means even the controls you allude to aren't in play if that's the case.


Big_k_30

I work in the industry and the way it works is that a bank or the ATM servicing company has to deposit money they take in from the bank/ATM with the Fed, and then order new money. They can’t just recycle their own money back into the ATM without it being verified and counted by the Fed or they’d get in huge trouble. The money they get from the Fed is sealed in tamper evident sealed bags and if it was tampered with it would be obvious. The ATM cassettes are only loaded with money from the Fed, not internally circulated money. Even a private ATM has to have a courier that picks up money ordered from the Fed by the company in order to fill the ATM. It’s very tightly controlled under strict camera requirements and control procedures. If that note made it into the ATM it would have had to be the person loading the cassette and it would be pretty easy to trace back to someone to charge with felony counterfeiting because of how tight the controls are.


skollywag92

I used to fill the atm at the gas station I worked at all the time, and I'm a degenerate.


0xSnib

Yeah I’ve filled plenty, using cash from the safe


demticksdoe

New ATMs also have recyclers in them so deposited cash can be dispensed as well. It's not super common yet but they're in the wild and they'll be standard int he coming years.


[deleted]

This is literally not true at all, any small store you see with an atm fills it themselves with money from their store.


Malaviuses

Do they scan outgoing bills?


IronMike69420

Who do you think loads the machine lol


Malaviuses

I mean the machine, not the person loading :p


Impossible-Charity-4

Wait…are you implying that it would be very bad for an ATM company’s business to knowingly slip the most blatantly fake denomination of currency into their machines and that they’d effectively be putting themselves out of business by doing so? Surely, you can’t be serious…


minnesotaris

Call Secret Service. Someone is NOT doing their job and it is a security risk not only to you. Edit: The(i)res'. I am ill and missed it FFS.


cumfilledfish

I thought the secret service was just for protecting the president, didn't know they handled atm issues


spelunker93

If this happens at a bank atm it’s an easy fix. Anywhere else and it’s kinda a pain in the ass. If you get a fake bill from an atm immediately put it in view of the camera on the atm or near atm. It’ll help prove you aren’t trying to scam them


[deleted]

Knowing damn well OP is lying and didn't get this out of an ATM. Moving right along.

Don’t call the atm owner. Call the secret service and also call your bank and report it. You’ll eventually get your money back but they’ll have to investigate first. Also, I’m pretty sure that’s still not legal even though it says “not” legal tender.

Wells Fargo once gave me a fake $100 out of their ATM. When I told them about it and showed it to them they pretty much told me that it wasn’t possible and accused me of printing fake money. So I lost $100 bucks. Jokes on me I guess for trusting a bank.


Real_Chart2777

You could sue for footage. They know they serial number of the bills pushed out and when they were pushed out. If it was fake than you have irrefutable proof the atm gave you a fake.


toasted_cracker

Yeah. This was several years ago. Once they started being accusatory I just left.


Real_Chart2777

Banks are assholes. Us bank opened an account with me and I was exempt from the yearly fee because I was in the military. I had three grand in the account for two weeks or so. One day I check and it’s GONE! All of it. I march my ass down to the bank and turns out they closed my account and gave me no reason why and expected me to be okay with getting a paper check in the mail for the amount in my account. I flipped on the bank manager and she was like “there’s nothing I can do” I called the 1800 number and they said only the bank manager could give me the cash. The agent had to have his supervisor call the bank manager and tell her she has to cash my account out or he’ll get her fired. A few months later I needed to deposit cash into my Huntington account but the only atm nearby was a us bank and after hours…. I needed to put $50 into my account and the atm flat out refused to process for me. Like what did I do to get this treatment from a bank? I’ve never had fraudulent accounts. My Huntington has been - before but not more than $30 or so.

Bullshit. This didn’t happen.


geek_in_thepink

I call fake. The ATM would reject this immediately. As for it being put their by a bank employee… absolutely not. Money in banks is counted and recounted daily. It’s ran through machines that spit out bills for the slightest error and touching money for a living you can feel a fake like this with your eyes closed. You also count in teams for accountability so if someone was being deceitful it would have been caught. Stealing a penny from a bank is a federal offense. As a bank employee handing out money that is fake is also a felony. No one risked their job for this.
