A note of disrepair

Sir, – Is it just me, or have the banks ceased to respect money? Lately I seem to be receiving notes in all states of disrepair. I can recall tellers removing any bills that did not meet their stringent standards. It was as if the money they distributed represented their image. Maybe that’s the answer. – Yours, etc,
