The age is the point. The cashier thought the bill was too old. You thought it wasn’t. What year was the note and was it a tiny head Ben Franklin?

Ridiculous for a country that is supposed to be modernising fast.
when there are a lot of dollars in a country, people choose the best of the best.

Legitimate currency is accepted by every bank in the USA. Currency that is deemed too old is placed in the "burn bag" and sent back to the US Mint to be incinerated and replaced by newly minted currency. If I know how the system works as a layman, how in the hell are these banking officials so damn ignorant?

Re: Beware - US Dollar Notes not accepted
I don't know but I get the impression that its sort of a hangover from the old days when there wasn't much (or anything i guess initially) in the way of formal banks. Also seems to relate to the Cambodian (or S.E Asian) way of looking at things- everything of value has to be shiny and new- I'd prefer an old pair of legit Levis or Nikes but I think most of these guys would prefer a brand-new copy-copy. (not that I'm saying they'd prefer a new counterfeit note to an old one, though those North Korean ones probably have a better chance of getting through than an old sellotaped legit one)
