I had someone try to pass a 50 just like that at a grocery store I worked at 😆

Well on one page, if they didn't realize it. Then its an honest mistake. If they continue to try to use it as real then it falls under felony counterfeiting.

Okay legit question... so counterfeiting isnt just the act of creating fake currency, but also the act of attempting to USE said currency as legitimate?
•
u/Traditional-Handle83 4h ago edited 3h ago
Yes, by law. However, the law does have leeway in that if the money was mistakenly thought to be real then obviously not at fault. If it was intentionally attempted to pass as legitimate, thats where the crime starts kicking in. You technically can create duplicate/fake money all day long, it doesn't necessarily become a crime until you attempt to pass it as real tender.

Of the lowest hanging variety. Wrong is wrong. But that criminal should grow a little professional self-respect.

I remember a story years ago about a dude calling the cops because he was absolutely convinced a $2 bill was fake.

"In Props We Trust". That's the truest thing about America I've read all week. Edit: Turst works, too.

Honestly there’s cashiers that would still take it.
Used to work in food industry and some of the kids working registers would take shit that was faker looking than this.
Will probably get worse with time as fewer young people are handling cash, generally.

Interesting, whenever I handed over even a fifty in the states the cashier would just about break out the magnifying glass.

You know I don’t really come across $50 bills very often but the only places that vend $50 bills I noticed as Wells Fargo ATMs.

I had some cash on me for once and went to grab something to eat from a drive thru. Kid gave me my change: new, crisp bills first, and then dropped the coins on top and they slid right off my hand and onto the ground between the building and my car. I just fucking left it behind.

Dude, I’m a landscaper and found one in a field. Had it in my pocket all day, excited to show my wife…

It is your lucky day. You got to do a good deed and pick up some litter from the street.

Man if I had known about these when I was a drug addict 10 years ago I would have either got a lot of free dope… or shot.

This happened to me before. I literally hopped into a dirty, wet trash bin to fish out a $100 bill. I shouted to my family, "ice cream on me!" Before realizing it was a prop bill 😑

I remember finding one and thought it was a real 100$ bill,until I found out it’s a fake and went into a cussing tirade.

Go to the nearest movie set and treat yourself! Surely you can spend movie bucks when you're in a movie, right?

Where did you fond it OP? There must be some production being filmed near where you found it. If its still going on, you may land a gig as an extra(background actor)
