    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.

    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

      Can you bribe someone with something that has no value?

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

      That would require a $69 bill.
