Linky

i dont' know how accurate or recent this is, but i found it was damned hilarious. not sure which one is more idiotic though, the cashier that took the note or the guy that passed it off as authentic.

and in somewhat related news, Exploding $20.00 bills

The man used the forgery to pay for groceries worth 150 dollars at the Food Lion store in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. The note was discovered on September 6.

old. but funny nonetheless.

Here's the thing, you have to look at the bill to know what denomination it is to make change, a 200 dollar bill should have garnered some attention, even if such thing did exist, simply because it would be so rare.

It's old, and I've heard something like it about three years ago, but the sheer amount of stupidity required on both sides to think you can get away with such a forgery, and then get away with it is still hilarious.

I wondered if there really were RFIDs in US 20s. I nuked a few. Nothing.

I think the guy deserves to keep the groceries just for the effort.

I liked the last comments in the "exploding $20s" article. Now it looks like I'll have to wear my tinfoil hat AND wrap my wallet in aluminum foil to keep out the mind control rays!

ya "Ten times worse then Orwell's 1984" I mean, WTF?

Sure it's bad, and as far as I can see getting worse, but we have got a long ass way to go before we approach 1984 levels of oppression. I wouldn't mind having a bit of whatever he is smoking...
