A guy cashes a $200 bill with Bush's face on it at Food Lyon.

Wow. How could the cashier not notice that mug?

superiorrain

what do you have to do to get your face on a bill???

but what a fool how can you not tell it's fake. I once worked in a shop and had a few dodgy notes but you notice them instently. Mine were copies of notes that existed but you really have to be dumb to accept a note that doesn't exist.

This is just more proof that people in general are becoming less intelligent. This cashier is probably one of the same people who can't find his home state on a map. Both of these things are taught early on in school and the lack of knowledge seems to be growing each year. If this person can't remember that a $200 bill doesn't exisist, how did he make it pass 2nd or 3rd grade?

mmm i remember this guy taking 10 minutes to cash a $2 bill b/c he never heard of if. he called the manager and security do something about the guy who was trying to cash it. Both the manager and security were laughing so hard the cashier ran outta the store crying.

I would rather see that, then to obliviously cash a $200 bill, though!

You can still get $2.00 bills. My girlfriend has a couple. How could anyone pass that bill? If you take even a glance at it you can tell it is fake. A "Moral Reserve Note", that is really too close to what Bush is trying to do to this country for my comfort.

lol. Seriously, how could anyone look at that and think its real? Yes its has green ink, but so does play money at the dollar store... Makes you wonder if they took some of that too.

This is why Australia has plastic money. My time in the states taught me that having all your money the same colour was quite frustrating. I'm sure you're all used to it, but it's still not the easiest way to do business.

oblar

that is really too bad. Those two people should have handled that differently in my opinion. Especially the manager, since at least the person is wary of bills they don't believe to be legal.

This same sort of story happened in the North-western US a while back, if I recall correctly. Someone went through McDonald's drive through with a $500 bill with Bill Clinton on the front. They ordered something like 2 breakfast sandwiches and the person gave them change. By the time someone else caught the mistake the people had been long gone. The worker was fired shortly thereafter.

How would you like to be the moron that accepted this as real?

How effing stupid do you have to be? I'm even doubting the cops intelligence on this one. You can buy these bills at pretty much any tourist location in the US. I got a pack of 9 in Washington at Union Station when I went on a trip there. Below are some examples, and notice I have the EXACT same bill in my posession. Honestly, this is NOT a smoking gun, lol.

When I was young, we were taught all about US currency, why each person was put on each bill, and all sorts of fun stuff like that. I don't know what they're teaching these days, but there's one question I have to ask: "Is our children learning?"

Guit84

God, That is Hilarious. I hope that guy lost his job for that. What idiot would think we have a $200 bill. Especially one with Bush on it. I mean he can't run a country. Why would he be on a $200 bill.

fhqwhgads

As long as there are stupid people who will cash these, there are stupid people who will print them up.

Stupid people keep me employed.

stevo

This reminds me of a time I paid for something at WinnDixie and handed the cashier some dollar bills and a susan B anthony. The cashier had to go ask someone if they could take it. moron.

Blackthorn

I had that same issue with a handful of the new dollar coins just a few days ago. Dipsticks had never seen them... You get these things in buckets when you use a postal service vending machine to buy stamps. F-ers...

I hate those. I end up either losing every last one, or spending them on candy so i wont loose them. Either way, it is a waste.

Fate

The day someone suceeds in using a 1,000,000 dollar bill, is the same day I decide to drive my car off a bridge in hopes to fly.

Even I know a 200$ American bill doesn't exsist- and I am Canadian.

About six months ago, I was at Arbys and got a couple of those coins handed to me as change. I looked at the guy and thought, thanks for the change I will never remember to use.

BTW, I still have those dollar coins.

it's a pretty convincing bill, actually! of course, it's clear that the person who accepted it was a moron, as were the people who watched the transaction (if any)

rofl, the back is freakin hilarious, omg "USA DESERVES A TAX CUT"

aurigus

On a completely opposite note, my mother-in-law tried to use a 50 cent piece and the cashier looked at her like she was crazy. He/She did not believe it was a real coin and had never saw one before.

joeshoe

Perhaps the cashier was an immigrant? In which case, he might have no idea what bills are real and not. If someone showed me a fake bill from another country, I certainly wouldn't know the difference.

Ishmal

but even if the cashier was a immigrant. would u really employ someone that can't tell the differance between bills? or worse still doesn't even know what bills exist?

That bill is awesome. In retrospect, I applaud the guy for doing it! I think it sucks for the cashier, because he obviously lost his job, but way to go for screwing the system fo once!
