Has anyone had this happen to them? I had a stack of 13(great
number,right?)and one was rejected over and over. The only explanation I can
come up with besides the obvious is that it is a 1974 bill and has no strip.
Think that would be the poblem?

I have never hear of either:

1) Putting money *into* an ATM other than in a deposit envelope, or

2) A bill scanner accepting anything larger than a $5.

A local laundromat has a change machine that will take up to a $20;
otherwise there is indeed something bogus about the OP.

You need to get out more. The scratch-off lotto machines here take up to
$20.

I was told by a bank employee that the latest generation ATMs at Bank
of America now accept piles of cash and that inside the machine there
is a scanner that counte and verifies the amount. I have no idea how
they handle rejects or fakes. I'm sure the PDF is online for the
machine. No time to look.

Well,I guess BoA is spending some of that bailout money on high tech. The
new machine lets you put a stack of up to 40 bills at a time of any
denomination . New ways of getting your money all the time.

So if the ATM accepts cash is the money immediately available in your
account for checks and debt card purchases?

Here in old Europe *there are* machines placed inside the banks where you
can make a deposit feeding them with banknotes, one by one.
No envelopes.

> 2) A bill scanner accepting anything larger than a $5.

They accept any denomination, even 500 euros.

It was credited to my account by the time I got home.So yes,it looks that
way. By the way, the "rejected" hundred dollar bill was passed at my local
supermarket.It was definitely pen checked.
