I'm not an expert in atm machines , but i think it's just a piece of software that runs when you inset a bill that checks it against some patterns. So it would be fairly easy to get a recognition software that detect fakes , just like banks have , for every bill out there , and install it with a few clicks.
I doubt that this is not the standard procedure , otherwise I'm pretty sure we would have already seen reports of people inserting some home printed money in those machines.
Ok, then why in most banks there are still a human cashiers that personally check some of the bills and it's not all automated? Based on what experience or facts you think is easy to make a software that recognizes fake money? The cashiers do other jobs too. Most banks in the UK tell you to use the automated machines if you're paying in money / cheques because it saves time. My mate even had a note swallowed because it was fake, so they obviously work. And there wasn't any alarm? No closed doors and police units storming the bank? He was shot before he could get to the door. Jokes, it just told him on the screen that a counterfeit had been detected and gave him a receipt detailing that it had been kept and what to do to retrieve or contest it.

If they are following KYC regulations then they should know who passed the bad bill. Don't the B-ATMs use hand-print readers or something?

I was thinking, if someone runs a bitcoin ATM and it's not Robocoin (Which is the only one that does user verification) don't they risk of becoming the perfect place for people to launder counterfeited money? I suppose the note taking mechanism can't recognize them. Especially since most seem to be programmable to work with any currency...
So how do we solve that? Camera at the spot won't really stop the determined ones.
Is it possible to 'launder counterfeit money'? Sure if you can find a way to swap it for legit money without them noticing. somehow I think they have a different term for that, all I could think of is "passing" counterfeit money, but I'm pretty sure the word 'laundering' is for a wholly different context. IMO, laundering is the act of taking real money that is gotten though illegal means and incorporating it into legal enterprise thereby 'cleaning the dirty money'. I don't think you can launder counterfeit money because no matter what you do with the money it will still be counterfeit.

If ATM took that technology alone, people who bleach 1 USD notes to reprint with 100 USD image would milk that ATM dry, all of the notes would pass the detector pen test because all of the PAPER is real, but the image wasn't.

Because when one of the largest banks in my country declared it has to go through some changes ,(and fire some peoples) in a matter of days all the banks got some new machines where you could insert cash and make a deposit to any of your bank accounts or pay bills , even exchange currecy, not having to talk to the cashier anymore.
ING for example , never really had ,since they first come with their first bank here, cashiers , they only had atms for depositing and withdrawing money.
I'm pretty sure that when these ATMs take the cash, they stack it in the order in which it was received, and there is a log kept of to which account was used for which bill. Then, I'm assuming that the human who services the ATM does a spot check on the stack and will start an investigation if counterfeit bills are found. But then, I could be completely wrong if the counterfeit detection has advanced to the point that it's as good as a human.

The counterfeit detection technology is far better than human detection, however do you want to pay for that level of detection. There are many different detection levels, from the very bottom, "the pen" to the very top 'CAT scan for money' (see vid above).

It seems that every ATM is fit with a detector , and the moment the bill gets detected it it's seized and the personal of the bank is notified. Now , checking the prices around , it seems that an auto scanner for 16 kind of currencies is priced at around 200 euros and this is the stand alone device, so I guess it's even cheaper for a bank or a company that buys in bulk to add those thingies.
