If it were up to me (and thankfully it's not) I'd stop printing $1 bills and make people use the $1 Sacagewea coin instead.
....
No $1 bills, and viola, you have room for $2 bills Do you realize how your proposal would totally destroy the nudie bar industry? Either you face an instant 100% inflation rate on what patrons pay dancers, or they have to carry a ton of heavy coins (?where?) and thus incur back injuries!
Larry Flynt will be strongly lobbying against you on this one.

I hope this guy finds the sleaziest, greediest lawyer in town. (Shouldn't be hard - - just open the Yellow Pages to 'Lawyers' and throw a dart.) Then he should sue Best Buy and that idiotic police department into oblivion.

I guess this isn't what's meant by 'funny as a two dollar bill'. Hmm, it's "Queer as a three dollar bill". Sort of like this:

As a favor to the store, he took back the $2 bills and instead paid them with 144 $1 coins with the picture of a female Indian on them.
The police were called.

What the &%@#** does this have to do with 9/11? Every time someone gets handcuffed, questioned, or arrested, it's either "for the children" or "to protect us from terrorists."

'We have to do this until we get it straightened out.'
Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? They arrest you and then decide whether you committed a crime or not? I guess thats what happens when you live in a police state.

"It's a sign that we're all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world."
This is the greatest stretch on 911 I've heard yet. Have I missed the news report of the exploding $2 bill?

ask the cashier if they take Federal Reserve Notes...or 1$ silver certificates....had that happen to a guy in front of me @ a local 7/11 store/gas store in Cenrtal Ky., He bought every one in the cash drawer.

Now THERE'S a statement that says it all!!!
To: Bloody Sam Roberts
What is it about Best Buy.
Hostile to discrimminating cheeky customers and . . . stubborn about music too loud sometimes?

Actually, I know that.
The entire affair would have been terminated by a 3 minute visit to the local bank.
After they identified the bills as real, then there would have been no "suspected" counterfeiting" and the matter would have been dropped.
If, in my business, the Federal SS was going to be called every time there was a question, instead of the corner bank, then the jails would be filled to the brim with customers waiting all day for a Secret Service agent to arrive.
This whole affair was a travesty, and I'm quite sure that he and some bottom feeder will do quite nicely when some member of the bar introduces the local police to common sense procedures.

It depends on your perspective. From CT, Baltimore sure seems southern. : ) Technically Maryland was considered a Southern state. IIRC they had slavery even after Lincoln "freed the slaves". They just thought that being so close to those Yankees in NJ and PA, that maybe trying to secede wasn't in their best interest.

My brother went into a bar down in Alabama (no comments from the professionally sensitive....., I am FROM Alabama and I love the state!) and tried to pay for a beer with a Susan Anthony dollar (it was a few years ago).
Bartender looked at it and said "I can't take this." He protested and said "BUT THAT IS A SUSAN B. ANTHONY DOLLAR!" Bartender said "I don't care whose picture it is, we don't take no foreign money!"
