Got back my own note

What happens if I receive back as change a note which I had previously marked? ie I got back one of my own bills? Does this count as a hit? Or do I silently smile to myself and use the bill back out into the world again.

Had this happen recently where I paid for something at PetroCan, and then returned a minute later when I decided to buy some lotto tickets. Got the bill that I had previously used back as change. There had been at least one customer in between.

I don't mind if it doesn't count as a hit. It wasn't intentional – it surprised me that I had this note back in my hand, as I hadn't even been thinking about the possibility as I did these transactions.

nothing happens, just go spend it :) and hopefully the next one that finds it will enter it.

Hi J-Lynn. Thanks for the reply. Looks like you are back after a while away. Welcome back.

I think its happened to most of us, myself included

Yup, been there done that a couple of times

It's happened to me several times. One moment I'm thinking "Woohoo! I found someone else's note." The next, "D'oh! It's mine." But like J-Lynn says just spend it again. Nothing else you can do.

that drives me frick'n insane when that happens
