I don't think private individuals have a legal duty to check against
money laundering; only banks and the like.

Unless the notes smell strongly of marijuana...

They can't and you wont.

Even if they have the bank note numbers recorded
and were a bait used to catch say a blackmailer and
the cops managed to **** up completely and didn’t
manage to stop the blackmailer getting away with
the bag of cash, you still wouldn’t lose the money.

If they were counterfeit I assure you would forfeit the lot and likely
lose the car.

Perhaps in the land of criminal forefathers things might be different?
