You're lucky he didn't have you arrested for passing a bogus checkIf he'd been quicker-witted, he probably would have!

"Uhhh...I need change for a billion please......"Just go down to the 7-11 and fill up the tank, there should be a little change left over.

I don't see the crime here at all.
What if someone wanted to make fake bills in the amount of $16.71 and put the image of the Mad magazine boy in the middle of the front? That can't be illegal, either.
I remember purchasing $3 bills as a joke bill in my youth. Everyone knew they were fake, but they were funny. I didn't realize they were somehow illegal.
That is totally bogus.

"Uhhh...I need change for a billion please......" In the 1920's in Germany, they used to say that.

Your bill is clearly phony -- I have the real $3 bill, which has Bill Clinton's face on it, not his wife's.

Tekle Zigetta letters used as a cryptogram give 4 possible phrases:
Order Sunroof
Order Sunroom
Order Taproom
Order Gunroom
I dont know what this means, but found it interesting.

"A billion is a substantial number, we want to ensure that no one was duped or fleeced by the passing of these documents," Kice said. Better inquire down at the local 7-11.

Back around 1968, give or take, MAD did have a page with one or more Alfred E. Neuman bills.
IIRC, it did work in dollar bill changers at the time. The US Treasury or USSS confiscated the plates for that particular
page, or so the story went.
I took a tour of the FBI eons ago. I believe they had some cancelled $100,000 bills on display. If not the 100K notes, they were $10,000 bills.

A billion'd buy you a BAHOG.
