Of course not. Grover Cleveland is on the thousand dollar bill.

I see my joke went "splat"

could this be considered counterfeiting? its not like the guy copied real money, he just made something that looked real and that someone was stupid enough to think was real despite knowing better.

Reminds me of a favorite line from Futurama..

"Are you familiar with my friend Al Gore?"

No, it's fraud.

Reminds me of the euro introduction when we had a string of incidents with 300€ bills around here (there is a legit 200€ bill). They were accepted in about a dozen cases, mostly because people weren´t familiar with the new money yet and the bills were actually quite professionally produced. Authorities were absolutely clueless for about a week since there were no connections between incidents apart from the bills and general geographic area and the whole thing seemed awfully bad organised and low key, especially considering the high quality of the bills.
In the end it turned out to be a marketing gag of a large local brothel/strip club. They had the money produced for their customers to give the strippers in house and such. Kinda like that disney money you can buy at disney world. They just got it a bit too right and some customers brought it into circulation. The club apologised and (IIRC) no charges where filled.

They tried to pass it as legal currency. That makes it illegal.

Here's a better image...

That reminds me of a few months ago when my dad mistakenly used my check book for something, signed *his* name onto *my* check and the bank teller didn't even bother to check if the damn signature even matched.

Once you look you'll know why this lady was an idiot.

hehehe, the supermarket is called Food lion

Wasn't there some nut awhile back who would do all these fancy dollarbill designs- new colors, huge patterns, pictures, photos, etc. and then try to buy stuff with them?

bah! anyone ever see the Bill Clinton $69 bill?

The Bill Clinton $3 bill? And was the check your dad wrote for ~$23,000?

I think I heard a similar story a couple of years back, it had the same amount of money, Bush, and the White House with the signs. Perhaps it's the same person in both cases.

Oy...what kind of moron accepts a bill like this?

Yeah... check for almost $24,000 and the teller doesn't even check the signature.
