I called the BOC customer service number. They said "it was not possible". I recently got a very obvious fake 100 out of a Bank of China ATM.

My suggestion is you may use it in KFC. You know it's very cowded there. Accountants are too busy to check it.

It's the truly independent, free market attitude. However, in passing it along, we are all net losers. for by accepting a fake as real, you have increased the total currency in circulation, causing just a little bit more inflation for all of us. It's not fair, but that's what is really happening. Good luck. Ray Ben,

And I remember the first time our buddy ever Todd withdrew money in China, it was from the Bank of China ATM on ba yi qi lu, and he got a fake 100. My theory is that the fakes are slipped in by employees who could work at any bank. Matt-

I've never gotten a fake note from an ATM machine before in three years in China. *Knocks On Wood* This year, I exclusively use Bank of China machines because I lack a Chinese bank account and cannot use other bank's machines with my foreign card. I like to think that Bank of China machines are reputable enough, but who knows? About the only time I ever get fake notes is when I pay with an 100 RMB note. This has happened exactly once in China, and yes I must admit begrudgingly that I successfully passed it on at a bar. Yeah, I’m amazed.

They obviously do not "produce" them though. I am really curious of how we people can still get those fake notes from the banks… They obviously do not “produce” them though.
