Get out of that state FAST. I was just on that thread.
Someday, the government will push just a little too hard, and I pray the people will push back!

Well one more reason for me not to go into Maryland. To arrest this fellow for this is beyond absurd.

Are you psychic? LOL!

I use them at convenience stores, valets, etc. Viva $2 !Then watch out for cops bearing handcuffs. :^)
During WW2, the Nazis produced an excellent counterfeit $1 bill (you can tell how long ago THAT was) and passed them to their operatives in the States through Mexico. The Rio Grande Valley residents used the $2 bill to foil the Germans.
The reason the ink looks smeared is that the back of the bill shows the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and has a lot greater area of green ink than other bills. Looks smeared without being so.

My husband likes to use the $2. bills also. I thought it was a bit strange but I never worried he was going to get arrested over it.
I used a $2. bill on a trip to Canada and the store clerk questioned me about it but finally believed me that it was real money.

They stay in business because you don't hear about the smart ones. It's like airplane crashes: for every crash you hear about, there are hundreds of thousands of safe takeoffs and landings.

The police were a trifle ignorant, but was being "right" worth being handcuffed to a pole and put in leg-irons? Yes. "These bills are legal tender for all debt public and private"
They were down right stupid. They should have called the bank. Or anyone over the age of thirty.

Sacajaweas - yes, the gold $1 coin. I get those too, just to be eccentric. My wife thinks my love for the $2 bill and the Sacajawea stems from my need to mess with other people's heads.I do that too. LOL
Just to mess with people's heads.

I wonder if he has a false imprisonment claim.

Kinda like "we arrested him for "passing" legal tender because we are so distracted by the threat of global thermonuclear war."

My wife thinks my love for the $2 bill and the Sacajawea stems from my need to mess with other people's heads. That's what motivates me.

Kinda reminds me of when I was on the Sam Houston Tollway in Houston. First toll booth I pulled up to was the change lane, where the worker gave me dollar coins instead of bills as part of the change. At the next set of booths I went through the exact change lane, threw in a dollar coin and quarters. Yep, the stupid automated toll machine wouldn't credit the dollar coin, though it sure swallowed it. Nice way of padding profits.
To: TitansAFC
The most difficult part to swallow, is the guy has a legitimate beef, againt some civil servants (can anyone say "oxymoron"?). His suit will start with BestBuy, and inlclude the city, etc.
When he successfully sues for idiocy, et al, the taxpayers will ultimately get the bill.
Again, the only winners are the lawyers!

I work 5 mins. from that Best Buy too. Think I should go in and buy a CD with some $2 bills? I suspect that will become common at that store as this story spreads ... if they were here in Atlanta I would be going there right now to buy something with a sequential order of $2 bills ... and laughing my ass off the whole time (but then I am easily amused.)

How could you guess that using a $2 bill would get you arrested?

Anyone know why they mark bills at Best Buy? There are marking pens that can differentiate currency paper. Most often used on $50 and up, but can be used on any bill.
