Why can't I spend money with serial numbers (what is the reason why kidnappers and robbers don't want money with serial numbers)

Careful friends often notice such a detail: in film and television works, kidnappers and robbers will refuse new banknotes with serial numbers. What's the matter?

In fact, although the plots of most film and television works are fictional, it is easy to be caught using new banknotes with serial numbers. This plot is reliable.

Why is this?

Series of new banknotes

Paper money is issued from the banknote printing factory, and its batch number is registered in detail. Which batch number is sent to which bank and where it is used in circulation is registered. In the future, if these banknotes appear in the wrong place, or the serial banknotes involved suddenly appear, the police can find out the general circulation channels through the record of the crown number, and then track down and arrest the suspects.

The only source of a lot of money is the bank. Now is the high-tech era, and the circulation of funds is very convenient. There is no need to withdraw a lot of cash in daily life. Even if a huge amount of cash needs to be withdrawn under special circumstances, the bank will ask about the purpose and make a very detailed record of the cashier and flow direction of the money. In addition, all the cash circulating in the bank will automatically record its crown number, so the huge serial cash will be locked from the bank.

Of course, the circulation of a piece of paper money generally does not attract attention. If the new bill appears in the wrong place, it is an important clue for the police to solve the case. There is a simple reason. New banknotes are all serial numbers when they leave the factory. Once they enter the circulation, the connected numbers will be quickly dispersed. In other words, new banknotes with serial numbers appear somewhere, which means that these banknotes have just been taken out of the bank and have not flowed through, so it is very easy to find out its circulation channels.
