Mutilation!!

I guess this bill is gone to bill heaven.http://www.cdn-money.ca/cdnmoney/servlet/cmtViewNote?ID=3228683

well, at least they gave you the hit….. gotta be thankful for that, I suppose…..

they had to give a hit so they could tell us of the vendictive act.

Wonder if they realize they broke the law?

have we all lost our focus…..
a poor bill is out of circulation!
something must be done about this, I'll release the dogs!

This is why many of our bills just never get a hit. As soon as the get to a bank they get rid of them. Survival of the fittest I guess :)

What a waste of money really !!! I would never think of destroying any money, especially not a $10 bill.

Don't be sad. I had a bill like this, and if memory serves, I got another hit on it after it was "mutilated", and the comments on that hit didn't mention any kind of damage at all.
We also heard of another incident, I think it was on the 'other' site, where a bank was warned not to destroy bills with 'minor' marks on them, or they would be charged back.
I personally had an experience where a bank teller scolded me about marked bills and said she was going to send them all to the Bank of Canada for 'destruction'. A couple of months after that, I got a couple of hits from B.C. on those bills.
It's nice to see the Bank of Canada's on our side…

Well if you think about it, the banks are the ones that mark the notes anyway. I very rarely have found a note with a telephone number on it. Most of the other marks are totals the bank tellers actually write on them when they are counting them. If a bank teller scolded me, I would just pick my money, turn my back and leave!!!

I didn't leave, I asked for the bank manager and offered to give his staff a seminar on the legal aspects of money tracking and customer service so they wouldn't lose customers over their petty predudices of money trackers. Needless to say, he declined and instructed the teller to accept my bills without comment in the future.

Great Job. Well of course he declined, he would not know what to say, I am sure. Good for you. I do not even bother going to banks anymore. I somehow have this feeling that they do me a favor having my money!!!!
