Yesterday I witness something that got me thinking.A customer in one of the leading banks withdrew ksh 100,000/= and directly went to deposit it in another leading bank just opposite the issuing bank.

The receiving bank found one 1000 note was fake.
On returning the fake note to the issuing bank, the customer was told that he should confirm the genuity of each and every note before leaving the bank premises.

Is this possible if one is drawing like Ksh 1 million or even 0.5M ? And without a fake money detector can this really work?

Once had a pal, came straight from the bank with 500K, when we checked it we found a 50/- note stuck inside and we thought it was a discount, on counting the chumes it came to 499,050/-, so the teller had gongad the jamaa 950/-, the trick with these guys is never take your eyes away from the counterfeit machine and the tellers hands as he handles your cash, don't be shy to say "ebu rudia" if you notice a sleight of hand, hawa watu hucheza karata throughout.
