No, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did, there's a lot of stupidity out there.

 

I have not had them outright rejected, but I have had an instance where the cashier had to ask a manager if he could accept it. Apparently, the manager was intelligent.

 

There have been a number of such incidents posted on this forum over the years, some of which led to actual arrests. It's amazing that it keeps happening.

 

They love them at the girlie joints..... Well, that's what I heard anyways....

 

I had a young grocery cashier reject a Kennedy half once.
Does this count?...Ha! Ha!

I have not had this case directly affect me, but my dad did go to school with a lady who called the police on a kid because he was trying to pay for his school lunch with a $2 bill.

The closest I've gotten to that is spending a 2 at Walmart.

 

Somehow my grandson (6 years old) got a $2 bill and his mom told him I would probably give him $5 for it

 

Arrests!?

 

Yes it counts! Imagine trying to spend an Ike?

 

That was typed quickly, but it meant that at least one of those stories posted involved a person getting arrested, or at least brought to a police station before the $2 bill was declared legitimate.

 

Unbelievable that this stills happens.

 

Just don't "tick" them off and give them your change! LOL. Or Credit Card. That's what I've heard anyways from a friend.

 

My wife had a cashier do the same thing at a "smoke shop". Not to be prejudice, but he spoke little English and my wife went in the car for change. Ugh!!

 

Someone told a story (here?) about a dealer who had an uncut sheet of bills and cut it with scissors and rolled it up. On a plane back home, the dealer paid for a drink by pulling the roll out and cutting off the correct amount. They were met by the Secret Service at the airport

Amen Brother!

 

Want to create a ruckus? Pay a cashier with:

- Sacagawea dollar
- SBA dollar
- Ike dollar
- $2 bill
- $1 silver certificate
- Kennedy half

All in one transaction. Make sure you're wearing a Kevlar vest to ward off the SWAT team sniper.

 

You had me at "ruckus" I'm in!

 

Just do it during a busy time. Plenty of witnesses.
