Ever wonder what's behind those little walls by the teller's windows? It's an array of scanners, testers, counters, and other devices to check for counterfeights - all of which fit on a 12"x18" space.

You may not know that they're checking, but they're checking.

Actually, he could use them at many department stores as well. Many department stores now have a payment option that allows you to pay in foreign currency (ie buttons that read: "cash"-"check"-"credit"-"foreign"). They push the button and the system converts the exchange rate.
