Fake 200$ bill with picture of Bush Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Ananova:

Hunt for trickster with George Bush bank notes

United States police are searching for a man who paid for his groceries with a forged 200 dollar bank note bearing the image of President George W Bush.



A cashier accepted the bill, which also showed a picture of the White House, with signs on the lawn including "we like ice cream" and "USA deserves a tax cut".



Police were startled the note was accepted because it was so blatantly fake Mr Bush does not appear on any US bills and the US Mint does not even print such a denomination.

The imitation was marked as "moral legal tender" and also bore a counterfeit signature of former President Ronald Reagan who was described as "Political Mentor".

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.

According to Paul Harvey, collectors would pay upwards of $500 for a counterfeit of that quality.

That's good workmanship in that banknote.

I don't know if you can call it a counterfeit either, since there's no real $200 bills.

Food Lion is having a hard time finding good help. I bet the man handed the cashier the bill as a joke.

The cashier probably didn't care. So this guy's blushing now?

Cashiers usually call over a manager on a 2 dollar bill. I can't believe someone accepted this.
I always underestimate the stupidity of the common man.
