Homicidalheathen Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 coarse it was a fake... February 1, 2001 10:58 am EST DANVILLE, Ky. (Reuters) - Talk about funny money. Police in Kentucky are looking for a customer who succeeded in paying for a $2 order at a fast-food restaurant with a phony $200 bill featuring a picture of President George W. Bush and a depiction of the White House with a lawn sign saying, "We like broccoli." Authorities say the female cashier at a Dairy Queen in Danville even gave the culprit $198 in real money as change. "Essentially, the story is that somebody at a drive-in ordered some food and passed a $200 novelty deal with George Bush on it," Danville Police Detective Bob Williamson said. "At a distance it looks like a real bill, it's got the green color," Williamson said when asked how the cashier possibly could mistake it for genuine money. The cartoonish bill was accepted on Sunday evening by the Dairy Queen cashier despite having Bush on one side and an oil well on the other. The phony bill also depicted the White House lawn with yard signs reading "U.S. deserves a tax cut," "No more scandals" and "We like broccoli," the last apparently referring to Bush's father's admitted dislike for the vegetable. No U.S. currency has a picture of Bush, let alone a reference to liking broccoli. Because there is no actual $200 currency, the culprit could face a charge of theft by deception but not counterfeiting, Williamson said http://econc10.bu.edu/Ec341_money/Assignme...counterfeit.htm

Vater Araignee Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 The law states that if you except something as money then it is money and you have to pay taxes on it. JOIN THE LIBERTY DOLLAR MOVEMENT!!!

know_buddy_kares Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 I find it ironic, that someone that stupid, was duped by money of the stupidest fucking idiot on it...
n0Mad Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Money is referred to as "Dead Presidents" for a reason. No living President or former President can be minted onto currency. Of course, Ben Franklin was never a president. He was too smart for that.
pomba gira Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Gawd, what a halfwit. And I love the excuse- "at a distance it looks like a real bill". The cashier must've been that guy's daughter or something.
