The cop should be in big trouble, but he won't be. After all, without absolute indemnification he couldn't freely threaten and intimidate 13 year old girls over valid currency.
I can hear Rush now "Women and minorities hit hardest."
Well, I’m white and went to put a check from a vendor in the bank and the lady FLIPPED OUT! she said it was fraudulent and followed me out the door blabbing.
Wife put it in her bank with no problem.
Switched banks.
A bit of Houston trivia, there is a scrap metal dealer on the west side that advertises paying in $2 bills.
Fort bend county is west of Houston.
Some family member counterfeiting money?
A Police officer didn’t know about 2 dollar bills?Did we just endorse stupidity as the national pastime?
I doubt if any of these clowns have ever seen a $2 bill. The ignorance of the police and school officials in this case may be showing. I have some stashed for the grandkids which are quite old.
I used to go to the bank all the time to get $2.00 bills for the kid’s lunch money. They thought it was kool.
Times, they are a changin’
..”I went to the lunch line and they said my $2 bill was fake...
That’s because it didn’t have Van Jones portrait on the front.
Quick. Who’s on the $2.00 Bill?

Idiocracy didn’t do justice to the clueless, terrified, authoritarian moron-state of 21st century America.
Be glad she didnt use 2 Sacawagea or Susan B Anthony coins!
My in-laws give my kids $2 bills all the time...
I don’t know why 2’s...it just seems like a grandparent thing.
Back when the Hunt brothers tried to corner the silver market, I was buying lunch. I asked if they took Silver and they said of course. So I gave them 2 silver dimes. They about threw me out on my ear. It would have been way more than what my bill came to.
I’ve never liked using $2.Bills, mostly because everyone used to hear the joke that something obviously phony was as phony as a $2. Bill. Whenever I am given them as change, I try to get rid of them along with other more commen denominations like $5’s or $10’s.
I feel the same way about the much touted Susan B. Anthony Dollar Coin. Most folks would think I was giving them fake money or at best Canadian money.
those cops and school officials are complete idiots: it’s the THREE dollar bills that they really need to be watching out for.
Through its history, the United States has minted and printed some weird denominations.
It minted the following coin denominations 1/2 cents, 2 cents, 3 cents (nickel), 3 cents (silver), half dimes and 20 cent pieces. And that’s just coins. All of them are still legal tender.
There was also printed paper money called Fractional Currency. Those notes were in denominations of 3 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents, 15 cents, 25 cents, 50 cents.
Reason to home school ping
Reminds me of the time I did business with an inbred cashier who didn’t know what dollar coins were.
I believe it. Years ago I went through a phase of using $2 bills and dollar coins just to help circulate them. I was amazed at the number of clerks who did not know it was American money and refused to accept them.
Pretty much everyone involved in this event needs to be fired and jailed, with the exception of the little girl, of course.
The absence of consequences for ignorance is what led to this ridiculous state of affairs.
