They are required to call the Secret Service when suspected counterfeiting is involved. They not only provide protection for dignitaries, they also handle counterfeiting. They're part of the Department of the Treasury.

Actually, I know that.

The entire affair would have been terminated by a 3 minute visit to the local bank.

After they identified the bills as real, then there would have been no "suspected" counterfeiting" and the matter would have been dropped.

If, in my business, the Federal SS was going to be called every time there was a question, instead of the corner bank, then the jails would be filled to the brim with customers waiting all day for a Secret Service agent to arrive.

This whole affair was a travesty, and I'm quite sure that he and some bottom feeder will do quite nicely when some member of the bar introduces the local police to common sense procedures.
