i actually took money out of the machine at my bank at like maybe 9 pm one night and when i looked at the twenty dollar bill, it was litterally only like 40% of the bill left. it made me so frustrated but i had to take it back to the bank the next day and they gave me a perfect an d crisp new bill :)
so i guess yeah as long as the reflective shiny thing is still on, it's fine. but with the service at sephora, that is actually ridiculous.
