Payment as phony as, well, a $200 bill
The Associated Press


ROANOKE RAPIDS -- Police are searching for a man who paid for $150 in groceries at a Food Lion grocery store with a $200 bill.
The man walked out of the store with his groceries and $50 in change before the fake bill was discovered Sept. 6.

The bogus bill -- the U.S. Mint does not print a $200 bill -- bore the image of President Bush on the front and had the White House on the back. It also included signs on the front lawn of the White House with slogans such as "We like broccoli" and "USA deserves a tax cut," Roanoke Rapids police said.

Instead of being labeled a Federal Reserve note, the fake bill was marked as a "Moral Reserve Note." The bill bore the signatures of Ronald Reagan, political mentor; and George H.W. Bush, campaign adviser and mentor.

Food Lion said normal policy is not to accept bills over $100.

Bwaaahahahahahaha!!! The bill even had G.W. Bush's picture on it...

Try the search function... It's really neat.

die repost-nazi.

Whatever... do a simple search before you post something... especially news-related. If not, then expect to get flamed.
Why do you care so much ? If it's a repost, say it once and be done with it...

And that, my friend, is why your postcount is so low. :D

hmmm,

I wonder what they will charge him with??

it can't be counterfeiting currency as there is NO $200.00 bill.

i guess they could charge him with fraud.

From the ORIGINAL post, there's a link to the bill.

Ebay has them for sale, 2 for $1.

EDIT:

Auction

Wow, way to beat a dead horse. I already said that it's there, for some reason when I did my search it didn't show up.

Your last two posts have been reposts of your original post of "REPOST!", you should search threads for your previous comments. :Q

Theft of some type I'm assuming.

I certainly hope they fire the clerk. What an idiot! :D

I think he should get away with it to punish the grocery store for hiring a COMPLETE IDIOT! :p

Otherwise, we'll just keep encouraging stores to hire idiots. The same idiots you and I will have to deal with whenever we try to return something.
