Counterfeit euro notes - fresh from the bank

If you wanted to make sure that the notes you get are not fake, where
would you go?

To a bank? You better watch out :-) Earlier this week the police in
Cologne (NW, DE) arrested a bank cashier who had apparently given
counterfeit notes "worth" almost ¤100,000 to customers who wanted to
withdraw cash at the counter.

The counterfeits were all ¤50 notes. ATM withdrawals were not affected,
only those at the counter.
