If you are given a fake banknote will a bank reimburse you ?

No they don't. They will normally retain the note and inform the police. You are a victim of crime if given the note in your change whatever. Nobody reimburses you I'm afraid - you've been had. Thats why its important to check !!!

NO.

Fake bank notes are illegal and they will be confiscated by any Bank to prevent re-circulation.

A Forged bank note has no value and therefore the bank have no responsibility to reimburse you.

No, having worked at a bank before when ever a counterfeit bill is presented the bill is confiscated.

no def not they wont even change it at the bank if they gave it you unless you can prove it. pass it on my friend i know its wrong but you got it innocently why should you be out of pocket? you would not have to do that if the government had some system of sorting this out

Only a fake bank.

Of course not unless they have given it to you as change etc

We have a nanny state but it has not gone that far yet

Only if they gave you the note !

no, and the obvious thing is to try and get away with passing it on yourself but then you will risk being convicted yourself! you'll safer to put it down to bad luck and check more carefully next time!

No you should check your change.If you can tear into the foils it's fake!

I would doubt it. It is not their fault that you were ripped off.
