DYE AND INK-STAINED NOTES

Myron Xenos writes: "In regard to dye-stained edges on U.S.
notes, bank employees often use this method of separating
notes into stacks of 100, marking each 100th bill as they place
them in ATM machines. Twenty dollar bills are most commonly
used in the machines. This is just one more way people are
messing up currency for the rest of us who collect, similar to the
pen marks seen on 50s and 100s."
