I was working on settling out my mothers estate and a few other things that
landed enough there for a few days to make a mistake like that possible.
That's also why I was upset and careless. The only reason it took as long
as it did to get my money back was they had to have a company officer sign
the check to send back to me.

OMG, what unlucky timing!

I've seen pros make mistakes with decimal points too. Once, I came
home from a trip to Korea still holding about enough Korean cash for a
dinner and a cab ride. $1 USD is about 1000 Korean won. I exchanged
what I had for dollars in Boston, expecting maybe $30 or so back. My
attention was wandering at first, but it seemed to be taking pretty
long. My eyes popped out as I noticed the changer counting out stacks
of hundreds and thousands of dollars! I told her to recheck the
exchange rate she was using! I think she actually had it backwards!
