    Fun fact, it’s not counterfeiting if the denomination doesn’t exist, so the charge would be theft by deception. In the early 2000s, there were several cases of people using a $200 bill and getting change back on their purchases, and not able to be charged with counterfeiting.

    https://www.deseret.com/2001/2/1/19566991/phony-200-bill-with-bush-picture-used-in-kentucky/

    Police in Kentucky are looking for a customer who succeeded in paying for a $2 order at a fast-food restaurant with a phony $200 bill featuring a picture of President George W. Bush and a depiction of the White House with a lawn sign saying, “We like broccoli.”

    Authorities say the female cashier at a Dairy Queen in Danville even gave the culprit $198 in real money as change.

        Apparently both George Bushs despised broccoli so much, there’s a whole Wikipedia page about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H._W._Bush_broccoli_comments

          Raw broccoli is fine in my book, but the second it’s cooked it’s dead to me. And no don’t say to add cheese, imo that makes it 100x worse D:

            That just means you ate poorly cooked broccoli. Roasting at high heat is the best way to eat broccoli. Cut to increase surface area. Add some salt and oil before roasting, wait until it’s dark brown, and squeeze lemon juice on top in the end. Much, much better than raw broccoli. No need to thank me.

                I hear the best way to crusade against humanity as a whole is also to roast it at high heat

      I’ve seen those Bush bills. I had one where he was visibly beaten up and the seal with the country name instead said “The Embarrassed States of America.”

      The only way I could see someone actually accepting those bills is if they literally didn’t even look at them because they were so obviously jokes.

        The attempt at bribery is the crime, not the value, or lack of value offered.

      That would require a $69 bill.
