The New $200 Dollar Bill!

Technically, the guy who passed it off didn't do anything illegal. The bill isnt counterfit, since it in no way represents an actual bill in circulation.

Or I could be wrong. But it's funny either way.

Yes, you're wrong. It was a fraudulent imitation of American currency that was passed off as legal tender. I doubt very much that he actually made it, looks like souvenir currency.

Well, there are laws against using false pretenses to obtain property. If you look at the link, you'll see this is what he was arrested for. :thumbsup:

Surely the signs on the back would have indicated the reader to look up to see a hearty 😛 on the face of the distributor. That should have been clue enough that it was fake, if not the fact that there is no such thing as a two hundred dollar bill. I mean, anyone can accept a Washington, a Jefferson, or even a Hillary as real money, since they're everywhere nowadays, but a Bush? 😮dd:

EDIT: Surely you caught the reference of Hillary from that stupid movie with Eddie whatshisface.

Nice drawing too

I want one!

OMG it looks fake but then real, like BH4 said, the cashier must have suspected something with the signs on the back of the bill... but he bought groceries with it :eyebrow: I would of been shoppin for other stuff

He paid off a $150 grocery bill and got $50 in real money to spend. Not a bad investment for an incredibely cheap knock-off. Fines and prison time are the downside though...

Yeah, why the hell would he want food. :confuse2: What a nut.

Dude, I'd get in so much trouble at work if I accepted one of those. That would be about 2 or 3 weeks of pay from me. I'll keep my eyes open.

I tried once to buy food from the school cafeteria with monopoly money. Even the old ladies there aren't that dumb.

The new $20 which comes out in a few months is multicolored from what I understand. So monopoloy money may not be far off...
