> The first was in college.
replyI remember my friend coming home from his first year in college and telling me about how he passed a counterfeit $30 he'd found to a clueless clerk and they actually made the correct change. My wise-ass response was that that wasn't actually counterfeit, it was just fraud.
The fraud of passing off something of lesser value as the genuine article is the definition of counterfeiting.
replyBut there is no such thing as a “genuine” $30 bill.
replyIf you’ll allow yourself to go one step further in the pedantry, there is no such thing as genuine money either.
replyThere is if we agree that there is.
replyWhich we have.
If it's being passed off as money, then someone thought it was. I don't think the Secret Service cares if it's an invalid denomination or has Bozo the Clown on the front. Probably not a high priority for them given the overall lack of believability, but the attempt is what counts.
replyThe best are sheets of $2 bills with perforations, as Steve Wozniak did: https://youtu.be/LJ1TIYxm1vM
