BTW this happened to me. I wasn't aware of it before the waitress was running after me when I was leaving a restaurant.
First time in my life I had gotten counterfeit money. It wasn’t even high quality. I think that somebody had used their home printer to print it actually.
I did enjoy my time in BA and will be back there next month. Maybe I should try booking Park Hyatt using points?
