Oooops!  Guess they mixed their bills up.

Thanks, Stephen.  So, then, where do security companies get the bills?  My guess is a bank, maybe not the same bank whose ATM's they are loading the bills into.

Banks don't service their own ATMs. More than a few times I've watched a security company (i.e., Wells Fargo, etc) load the machines.

As for counterfeit bills in the machines? The machines can tell the difference between a real bill and a fake. That's to prevent people from depositing counterfeits into their accounts (i.e., Bank of America ATMs that accept deposits).

How else would they get inside the machines?

Certain bank employees not doing their job watching for conterfeits?  Or inside job?  Now, who gets arrested for this?
