I can easily answer this for you:
1)You go into bank and attempt to do your transaction. The teller realizes it is fake and informs you. It may be obvious or he/she may go through a series of events to confirm. (they do have compilations of numbers on bills that are known to be fake etc)
2)Depending on your relationship with bank and how you handle yourself
they may take the bill from you or you may get lucky and walk out. Almost 100% of the time, you do not walk out with the money.
If they take the bill from you, they begin to process standard paperwork. They take down information on the bill and also information about you. It is very basic information. Plus, time of transaction and date etc. You will receive a copy of everything that is done. You are not in trouble and you move along, but you move along without the $100. They keep it and it now moves along with the paperwork. I assume if your name comes up numerous times with fake bills you will eventually have a problem. Once or twice you will not have to worry as much. No one contacts you from any department if you present a counterfeit, unless procedure has changed recently. My guess would be repeated presentation of a counterfeit and then you have issues.
If you have a strong relationship with the bank, you may get to move along out of the bank. I have seen this happen, but I am not going into it. It may have happened as it was not easily confirmed fake and the person had a strong banking relationship etc. or they were just lucky.
Many people do not know they have a fake bill (notice I say, if you do not know it is a fake) and there is no way they can say you knew it was fake. You just take the loss and move on as it is banking procedure and the law.
