Once that bill leaves the view of the teller, ie. in your car, even if you were to notice it were fake, you could not prove it. This way, the teller does not get chastised for accepting a counterfeit bill from another customer and then having to send it for destruction.

Some banks will fire tellers for accepting as little as two fake bills. The first is a warning, the second dismissal.
