this commercial was just on. they say its a $20 liberian bill (legal) and they are selling it at face value. but at $20 US

well the conversion rate is not equal. 20 liberian is under a buck US.

What something is worth does not = what it is worth in terms of currency.

There are tons of rare US bills that have a face value of $5, but are worth hundereds.

Im not saying that is the case here, but there you go.

Lets see.... they are taking advantage of 9/11 and you think they are bad for false advertising?

They say it's Liberian money, it's face value is totally unrelated. That said in the United States you can basically sue anyone for anything, it's just a question of whether or not you will win.

Hey. I got a US $1 bill here.
It's kinds wrinkled, but it's been pressed up against a TV when a picture of New York was on the screen.
I'll let ya have it for $20.

I got Philadelphia bills for $15.
Chicago bills for $18
Just let me know what ya want.

I thought about that before; insisting that I should be able to pay "$20 face value in Liberian currency." But, two things entered my mind: after 30 seconds of googling, I didn't see a conversion site for Liberian to US funds. And, more importantly, wtf would I do with a Liberian $20 bill?
