Of course no charges have been filed. He wasn't attempting to pass counterfeit bills; he was offering to barter pieces of original artwork. Leave the poor guy alone.

It's not the worst scam to try to run. It'll fool the counterfeit pens because it's real money; and if the ink job is good it could work if they don't check the watermark. I wonder how many have succeeded before the press began raising awareness.

There's no such thing as a $2 bill. Some dbag tried to give me one the other night at Taco Bell. I told my manager right away.

Lanadapter		2012-07-29 03:22:07 PM

$2 bill? That's gay.

Why is this article on the Business tab? Is it just here to fill space on a slow weekend?

And Hank Hill is usually on the hundred Gribble bill.

To be fair, it really doesn't matter who you put on a counterfeit $2 bill.

Phil Moskowitz		2012-07-29 04:41:40 PM

Pootie Tang is on the 3 dollar bill..

low normal to snarky obama comment ratio on that article page.

It's all about the Abrahams?

wildcardjack		2012-07-29 05:34:12 PM

They're not counterfeit. They're from another dimension where the committee choosing the dead presidents for the bills went another way. And FDR was a robotic killing machine that lead the invasion of Normandy.

It's all about the Jeffersons baby.

I wonder what bill the current list of past presidents will be on, say 30 years from now?

This is why I only deal with bills that have Salmon P. Chase on them

That would be a sick episode of Sliders.

Probably the same.

They don't generally change (the current line up has been in place since at least the 1930s).

oldfarthenry		2012-07-30 09:25:44 AM

Seems legit.

GoldDude		2012-07-30 10:14:37 AM

It can be argued it is NOT counterfeiting if you are creating a banknote that does not exist. Trying to pass them off as currency warrants a "fraud by deception" charge, which is not as bad as a Federal counterfeiting charge. So maybe the guy's smarter than we think...?

That's why they put Jefferson on it. The bastards!

brantgoose		2012-07-30 07:13:23 PM

Stupid! You put the wrong Jackson on the ten dollar bank note!

Andrew, I said!

Not Jessie!

Get back to your drawing board!

I worked as a security guard at Target before college. It's HARD to counterfeit a bill. It's easy to buy things with a roll of 20s, where only the first bill is actually a 20 and the rest are ones with the digits changed.

How much attention do you expect a tired sixteen year old cashier to pay?
