It's rather ironic that Grover Cleveland, a President who advocated sound money, would be a target to be put on funny money.

Ping!

I think they are using $1-billion-dollar bills in Zimbabwe these days. No joke.

"And I'll con them for...one billion dollars!"

"You would think the $1 billion denomination would be a giveaway that these notes are fake, but some people are still taken in," said James Todak, a secret services agent involved in the probe.

Anyone that stupid would be taken in by Monopoly Money. This dumb-ass should have plead not guilty and claimed it was play money like those $3.00 bills with Clinton’s picture that went around.

Right... Someone - anyone is going to take a billion dollar bill seriously... Like anyone could make change...

The "bill" is obviously useless. How can it be a crime to have one???

[goldstategop]

Imagine what I could do with a billion dollar bill. But it would take an awfully long time to get the correct change and then some.

Is this the largest $ figure ever confiscated at $250Bn?
Very lame attempt, but in any case it is $250,000,000,000.00

Those billion dollar bills are tough to make change for cashiers.

I would say only a handful of New Zealand can answer "Cleveland who?". They may have a large chance of knowing who William Gladstone was, though.

For us to remembering names of 19th century US Presidents after Madison and before Teddy Roosevelt, except Lincoln, would be akin to remembering the names of every Canadian Prime Ministers in the modern era for non-Canadians.

A cup of coffee, please, and break this. It's all I have on me.

Probably a republican legislator going to a budget meeting on social entitlement and illegal immigrant benefits planning.

[Maurice Tift]

they had found 250 bogus billion dollar bills while investigating a man charged with currency smuggling.

When someone asks me for a nickel, I always say "Sure! Got change for a billion?"

[CaptRon]

Sorry, I only have change for $500,000,000.

[djf]

There was a case a while back where some dude printed up a bunch of $3 bills and spent them at the local Burger King or whatever.

They decided they couldn't charge him with couterfeiting because there is no such thing as a REAL $3 bill.

Some people are too dumb to live.

[captmar-vell]
