Actually it's a sign that Best Buy is about to be facing a helacious law suit.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Legal tender.

XS, was it Best Buy that wouldn't let you use a gift cert purchaseed on line?

[GoLightly]

That 9/11 comment was beyond stoopid! Guess the newer color reproduction technologies have nothing to do with the hinkiness of retailers...

Anyway, I guess they haven't had any of the kind of protests that used to happen every once in awhile, where some minority was supposed to pay for everything with two dollar bills, to demonstrate how much of an impact they have on a local economy. Most cash drawers aren't set up for em, which is why they aren't in more common use. If you're not getting them with change from your purchases, you don't usually come in contact with em.

Now you guys know how American Citizens are sometimes made to feel when they cross the border and have to deal with Federal Agents who forgot that you can secure the country while still not being an a$$4ole. The best thing to remember when dealing with these folks is that they demand that you be lower than them.

I predict that these people can have great 2nd careers with the TSA.

Next time you are tempted to make fun of us southerners, please remember this incident.

I'm a southerner, but this does remind me of a joke...

A counterfeiter was printing up money when he realized he had printed $18 bills. He figured if he went to a small hicktown he would be able to pass them off. He went to a store in a small town and presented the $18 bill and asked for change. The clerk replied, "sure, you want 3-$6's or 2-$9's?

Bolesta decided to pay the $114 bill using 57 crisp, new $2 bills.

Can anyone PLEASE tell me where I can get some $2 bills like those?

The last $2 bill I had, was given as change at Monticello. The tour was $3 and if you paid with a $5, you got a $2 bill as change. I still have it but I think the tour is about $8 now.

...ask the cashier if they take Federal Reserve Notes.

Oh, don't be silly. Those things aren't backed by gold, so they can't be real money. Nobody would take that stuff!

...What? Oh, they do?

Well, dang it. This stack of $100 gold certificates I got must be worthless then. Guess I'll just go burn 'em...

[Asphalt]

I have a couple of those. Cool, but not amazing, that's rediculous.

[Towed_Jumper]

"It's a sign that we're all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world."

Good grief...don't these people know you can't even by a AK-47 at a gun show for $2? Terrorists would need a whole pile of $2-bills to buy one of those "mass murdering killing" machines. //sarcasm off//

[Jackson57]

They are required to call the Secret Service when suspected counterfeiting is involved. They not only provide protection for dignitaries, they also handle counterfeiting. They're part of the Department of the Treasury.

That's why I dont buy from Best Buy...the help is generally NOT helpful at all!

[Gunrunner2]

>>That said, I think I am going to get a stack of these and some of those Pocohantis Sqaw-bucks --- maybe a .50 cent piece or two and head to Best Buy.<<

And don't forget to bring along your lawyer and video camera.

always remember that half of us are stupider than average

[freedumb2003]

I predict a quiet legal settlement with best buy and this man that will more than take care of the installation bill.

Poing.

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

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Ask for them at the bank. I have about $40.00 worth from when they first came out.
