No, that should be reported to the bank immediately. The bank will eventually discover the error if the account holder does not and will take whatever steps needed to rectify the problem. An account holder who knowingly uses such funds is guilty of a criminal offense.

Will bank hold the wire transfer fund if account number is mistaken added by extra digits?

It Depends. If there is a valid bank account including the extra digits you put in by mistake, funds will be transferred to that account. The bank will not take any liability out of this wrong transaction that arose out of your mistake in entering the account number incorrectly. But, if there is no valid account with those numbers then the transaction will be cancelled and the money will be deposited back into your account. If by chance, money got deposited into the wrong account, you have to file a legal complaint to get your money bank. The bank can only provide details of to whose account the money was deposited and will not help you out to get the money back.

What is the policy on counterfeit postal money orders and the responsibility of the bank and the clerk?

Counterfeit postal money orders, like counterfeit money, cannot legally be deposited in a bank account. Bank clerks are not required to absolutely verify the status of a money order before accepting it, and the bank is not required to honor it in any case. The responsibility of a clerk who pays out money erroneously is subject to the policy of the individual bank. But the bank account holder is ultimately liable for all counterfeit or fictitious items deposited or cashed through their account.
