A woman in Pennsylvania managed to pass of a fake $200 bill with George W. Bush’s likeness on it:
Although there is no $200 bill in circulation, never mind one with George Bush’s picture on it, the cashier at the Fashion Bug in Hempfield Township, Pa., accepted the bill for some clothes and handed the woman about $100 in change, the paper reported.
“The cashier apparently believed it was a true piece of currency,” State Trooper Jeanne Martin told the Tribune-Review. She added that the bill most likely began circulating as a gag gift.
This seems to happen from time to time, the news reports it, and people get a laugh. And yet, no one ever learns!
This gag has been in existence since the Clinton era. But sadly, it looks like some people are too dumb to so much as accept money from people.
