When I was a military disbursing officer, I had a dollar counter in my office that was able to count bills that were in terrible shape, almost barely recognizable (in circulation in foreign markets). Something like in the picture would've easily been counted by my currency counter. This counter was archaic compared to what the banks have today, and it was made in the 20th Century. I was in this position just after the turn of the century. If the above claim in the tweet occurred, the person that wasn't able to deposit that did not follow directions, or didn't have common sense.
I have trouble believing the claim in the first place. Someone sufficiently upset by the gesture may have simply swapped the bill for one at the register.
Newer machines count the money on the spot and make the funds immediately available to your account without someone having to hand count it.
