Not sure if I am the unluckiest guy on the planet, but twice on overseas trips - once in Spain, the other in Argentina - I received counterfeit currency out of an ATM. Never had that problem in the states - unless US currency is that much easier to counterfeit that I never noticed.
But plastic can be just as problematic. Tried to purchase a painting in Barcelona for 300 euros - the idiot art dealer rang it up as 3,000 euros. We both caught the error right away and I cancelled the purchase. But I had to spend 1/2 hour on the phone with my American bank to correct the mistake, and I still got burned for the currency exchange fluctuation which occurred between the date it was charged, and the date it was credited (though that overseas phone call cost exceeded that by a lot).
