<<<It is illegal to posses counterfeit money and a serious felony to pass
it off as real. The maximum penalty for transferring counterfeit
federal reserve notes is 20 years in prison, and a fine of $250,000.
The maximum penalty for possession of counterfeit notes is also 20

Bank tellers pass counterfeit money all of the time. When a bank teller does
not catch a counterfeit it is held against them. On more than one occasion I
have seen a teller pass it right back to another customer.
