You ever been on the receiving end

of a counterfeit bill? I deposit daily my nightly tips. Bank informed me yesterday that a deposit they had incurred the day before included two counterfeit 20$ bills. I swipe twentys or higher with a money marker which is evident on the bills in question. They claim they are most probably bleached singles. 🤷

My favorite counterfeit bill story (which turned out not to be counterfeit)...

Back when George W. Bush was in office... one fo the local ice cream places (Baskin-Robbins maybe or dairy queen?... I don't remember which one)....

Someone went through the drive through, ordered an $7 or $8 item...

Then they paid with a $200 George W. Bush bill.... and the clerk gave them the $190+ back...

The Secret Service was called in (because apparently Secret Service does counterfeit, which has never made sense to me, shoulder the treasury be doing it? But anyways)...

Apparently, legally it is not counterfeit, as there is no $200 bill... Therefore it's not a counterfeit of such a bill.

But it was still $190 worth of theft, so different law enforcement was still trying to track them down...

@Punxi Well,.that does look like a real bill.... though the huge give away to me, is was that he's the current President!

All the Presidents on Bills (I believe) are extremely long time ago dead...

But I've never seen a $200, I might of otherwise thought it was real if they used an extremely past President.

$500 and $1,000 Bills are real... so there could of been a $200 Bill I didn't know about...

And that's the other give away, the do bills in 5s and 1s, not 2s...
