An eighth grader in Houston, TX tried to pay for lunch with a $2 bill.
Danesiah Neal told ABC News, ”I went to the lunch line, and they said my $2 bill was fake. They gave it to the police. Then they sent me to the police office. A police officer said I could be in big trouble.”
The officer told Danesiah she could be charged with a third-degree felony.
After investigating the incident, police discovered that the bill was real. Just very old and rare.
I used to go to a car wash where the change machine dispensed dollar coins. The dollar coins also worked in the coin slots in the wash bays. Three dollar coins instead of twelve quarters saved time when purchasing a wash thereby increasing the number of customers per bay.
Lol. what makes it worse is I feel like a failure for not being rich when there so many stupid people out there LOL I can’t complain know. as for policeman pay it’s a toss up between the dangers job they have and a relative lack of knowledge for the most part. I’ve known many. this is going back 20 something years now but they were brutal, sadistic, crazy, or lazy. out of all of them of course. But it seems the craziest Italian and Irish kids in the neighborhood became cops.
Oooh, and a star note, too!
“”...until 2016 when they were all palletized and flown to an unnamed middle eastern country.” “
That would be hilarious. We give them $400M in $2 bills and Sacagawea dollar coins.
“Infidels! What is this sh!t?”
At a public school you get in trouble for using a two dollar bill but a three dollar bill is “celebrated.”
Counterfeiters don’t bother with $2 bills. People are getting dumber.
“Apparently a POLICE OFFICER was too stupid to realize this, which is really, really disturbing.”
Not to mention the school administators some of whom probably have PhDs.
Here is more on this story, insane.

Glad you posted that, I just automatically assumed it was Houston ISD.
Sheesh! I sold something on craigslist last week and a $2 bill was part of the payment. A few years back, I was in line behind someone who tried to pay with Sacajawea coins and the checker told the guy the store didn’t take foreign money. I used to end up with Sacajawea coins because the stamp machine at our local PO accepted paper bills, but all change was returned in coins. (I don’t know if that’s still the case as I now only use a few stamps a year and buy them at the grocery store rather than the PO.)
They did let her post bail with an Obama $300.00 bill.
They have never bothered with anything smaller than a 20 since we’ve been on Federal Reserve Notes, as far as I know.
That is the reason Trump when speaking to crowds, speaks at a fourth grade level. He wants them all to understand what he’s saying.
I used to work at a race track. All our stand bets were two dollars (”deuces”). We got a lot of two-dollar bills.
And I remember getting one as a birthday present when I was a kid. My little brother stole it to buy candy.
I keep a $2 bill in my wallet, separate from all other bills. Just kinda like it, know it’s rare, but like to have an emergency piece of legal tender in case all my other bills ‘go missing.’
This story was published in the Washington Times in April, same names and everything. Our news media are running out of material.

Whenever Clemson fans travel to rare match ups with teams we don’t normally play or bowl cities we’d like to return to, many fans get two dollar bills from their bank, and stamp a small orange tiger paw on the bills. Local merchants and politicians do notice the impact from having our team and fans there has on the local economy.
That’s queer.
School taught by a bunch of dopey bananas to mine.
‘THESE ‘FOLKS’ are attempting to teach our children???! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
I’ve read some of the comments, I agree with the consensus on freerepublic they are not that uncommon, never the less one thing for you all to consider it could of been on of those really old ones from back in the 1920’s or so. I’ve got one has a date of 1928 on it, and it has a red labels or what ever you call them verses the green you see now days on the $2.00 bills. Hopefully the kid didn’t take the $2.00 bill out of some ones antique collection of bills.
Back when new shrunken dollar coins were introduced (NOT the old silver dollars), I got one in change. I later tried to spend it. The guy behind the counter refused it. He said, “We don’t take Canadian money.” I still have it.
