Just wait until his next traffic stop. His record will show that he is known for passing $2 bills.

Then he'll go through this all over again, as a known $2 bill-passer.

Once you get stuck in a Seinfeldian category like "low talker" or "$2 bill-passer", you'll never get out of it.

2 dollar bills are works of art... Sacajaweas are Chuck E Cheese tokens.

Chuck E Cheese bump.

Got one of those in change a couple of weeks ago and had to clean it up with Brasso just so people wouldn't think I was trying to pass something off on them.

Other than the man arrested and the Secret Service folks, everyone involved in this incident is just too unfathomably stupid to be permitted to waste oxygen any longer.

Stupidity at this level ought to be a capital crime.

I worked for a department store years ago and the owner was superstitious and if we received a $2.00 bill he told is to get rid if it when making change because they were bad luck. He was serious about it and would get close to hysterical if he found one in a register.

They sure were bad luck for this guy.

UNBELIEVABLE!

Can't seem to post this photo, a little help?

If ignorance of the law is no excuse for private citizens, it likewise shouldn't be an allowable excuse for police officers.

Could be some money coming Mike Bolesta's way.

Oh, to be a plaintiff's lawyer.

The large-denomination bills - $500, $1000, $5000, $10000 - were issued to the public until 1969, although printing stopped during the Second World War and they've been phasing out of circulation ever since. The $5000 bill and lower are in fact still legal tender, and must be accepted accordingly. The $10000 bill is no longer legal tender, but can be exchanged (for Bennies!) at a bank once authenticated. It was only the $100,000 bill that was strictly for transfers between Federal Reserve banks. Come up with one of those, and you'll be calling Leavenworth home. =)

I once got into an argument with a sales clerk over the Susan B.'s. She told me they weren't legal tender. Idiots abound!

(In best R. Lee Ermey voice)

YOU GOTTA BE F----- KIDDING ME!

What a bunch for flippin' idiots.

He'll have to register with the 2-dollar bill passers' database too.

I saw a guy pass a Slick Times Three-Dollar-Bill at a Pizza Hut. Cashier took it without a second thought.

That is going to be one rich customer. I'll bet Best Buy wishes they'd let the whole installation thing slide.

They got their $114 bucks.

At a few million in legal fees and settlement funds.

With the rise of money laundrying and the drug problem, the fed has taken everything but $100s out of public circulation.

I think you meant to say "With all those people with the nerve to think they are free enough to carry large sums of money around without the government knowing about it..."

Baltimore County police spokesman Bill Toohey told the Sun: "It's a sign that we're all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world."

They're a little nervous, but they're big-time stupid.

Best Buy needed to fire the clerk and give this guy a $1,000 gift certificate.

$2 bills are always given as change at the gift shop at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home in Charlottesville, Virginia.

I hsve several of those 1976 vintage $2 bills although I do vaguely remember the old ones with Monticello on the back when I was real little. I also have some silver certificates, wonder if they are worth anything?

[Nowhere Man]

The Eisenhower Dollar coin is an oddity. Probably not many young people have seen one. I collect them and would never spend one. Although it is legal tender, it does not look real.

I have a few of those too, with the tails showing the an Eagle on the Moon. You don't see many half-dollars either, you know the ones with "Martin Sheen" as heads (with apologies to "The Goonies" on the Kennedy half-dollar) B-)
