He would probably be in jail. Actually, I have no idea how anyone, collector or not, didn't know that we made $2 bills until recently. I like your signature by the way! Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 11/22/2013 11:23 pm If you read the story to the end, it's not that they didn't know $2 notes existed or thought that all $2 notes must be fake, it's that they thought these particular $2 notes were fake because they spotted some with smudged ink. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
Fox Pillar of the Community 708 Posts	Posted 11/22/2013 11:34 pm Guys, this story is 100 years old. Next we'll be hearing about the guy spending the fake George W. Bush $200 bill and getting $198 in change at the Dairy Queen. Which leads me to wonder, if the government does reissue the $500 bill, and also issues a new $200 bill, I wonder if people who have seen the George W. Bush $200 bill story would refuse to accept new, real $200 bills issued be the Treasury and BEP. I've also had some odd experiences with halves before, but there are a lot of people who know about the golden dollars, but not SBAs or Ikes. One person once thought some Ikes I spent were actually halves, and I had to flip one of the coins over, and show the clerk how they said "One Dollar" on the back.
