"Sacagawea"? Never heard of her. Pocahantis.

I think Best Buy can expect a call from Mr. Bolesta's attorney.

Actually, I think Mr. Bolesta can expect a call from an executive at Best Buy's public relations department offering a sincere apology and a generous gift certificate.

Speaking of counterfeit bills, I recall a story a few years back of an individual who passed a $200 bill with George W. Bush's face to a non-English speaking cashier at a Dairy Queen. He received $196 in change.

They tried to charge him with counterfeiting but couldn't as nonexistent denominations cannot be counterfeited.

Once, I bought a cheap HP computer at Best Buy and they tried to hard-sell the extended warranty. Never is my policy. My wife, however, agreed to that when I was wandering for an accessory. Back at the register I started to argue about the item on the sales slip until I saw that the store clerk had actually lowered the CPU price by the inflated amount of the warranty. The salesperson assured me the warranty really was a good deal. It really was worth every penny.

Sacagawea is the one on the gold dollars. She was a guide for Lewis and Clark during their journey.

Is that a Ryder rental truck on the back of that $3?

[muir_redwoods]

It depends on your perspective. From CT, Baltimore sure seems southern. : )

Best Buy better stop hiring with affirmative action in mind.

I was given a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin at a 7-11, and when I tried to spend it later the clerk thought it was Canadian!

I save $2 Bill myself...

"Sacagawea is the one on the gold dollars. She was a guide for Lewis and Clark during their journey."

You expect me to believe that? What kind of real men would depend on some lady for directions?

Has to be Pocahantis.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I like dollar coins.

I thought the Suzy Bs were damned handy.

[Mark was here]

"I want my two dollars!

I just love the part where the mom was vacuuming and opened up the garage door and knocked the kid off the stairs...

[OKIEDOC]

I smell a major lawsuit.

It's not necessarily the young kids that work at Best Buy that are at fault.

The manager should have known that two dollar bills are legal.

Talk about STOOPID.

[Ronaldus Magnus]

If you're serious, just ask your bank for them. They can order them for you.

I'm am serious and I did ask but was told that $2 bills are no longer being produced. I'd get 100 if I could find them.

[Asphalt]

love em. Hard to find unless you go to the bank

"What are ya, freakin' KIDDIN' me?? It's a gussied-up quarter!"

[TheBattman]

I am normally against lawsuits - but this one BEGS to be filed - and I would imagine that MANY lawyers would LOVE to get their hands on this one - This could literally be a multi-million dollar suit. And it really would serve Best Buy and the local PD right. I just hate that taxpayers would have to pay for any judgment against the cops.

Absolutely INSANE.

[MeanWestTexan]

Ah, the Betsy Ross dollar.
