You could try to sue but there is really nobody that will believe you.
I suggest you read and consider the following webpage:
http://www.secretservice.gov/money_receive.shtml
The bank almost certainly didn't "decide" to give you a counterfeit bill. Knowingly passing counterfeit money is a serious federal crime. If you got the bill from a bank, then the bank was probably fooled and believed the bill was genuine.
Counterfeit money often passes through many hands before anyone realizes it is fake. The law does not entitle each person in the chain to demand a refund from the person who had the bill previously, and it does not require innocent people who used to have the money to compensate those who have it now. The person who has the bill when it is revealed as a forgery is the one who is stuck with the loss, unless she can prove that the person who gave it to her knew it was fake.
