If it were a coin I would call it a 'fantasy piece'. The same may be true for currency. Whatever you call it it is not genuine and spending it is a crime. A couple of years ago a woman in Covington, GA tried to spend a $1,000,000 bill. She was arrested.
Here's one for ya: http://cgi.ebay.com/1851-SILVER-DOLLAR-LIBERTY-INDIAN-HEAD-COIN_W0QQitemZ170297999774 They also have a SLD & TD on auction that are counterfeits. :goof: Ribbit
This reminds me of a story. A guy walks into a bank, dressed normally, nothing suspicious. He hands the teller a note that says "give me all the money". No weapon showed, no threat of violence. He receives the money and leaves. Did he rob the bank? Or did he encounter a particularly generous teller?
There was the joker that paid a traffic violation with a $22 bill and got change for it. Then several of the $200 bills with GWB on them.
You mean this? That's what I thought of. Some people will try anything. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/bushbill1.html
Actually even though the denomination is wrong it was used in a legal transaction therefore the act makes it against the law not the bill. There are alot of odd denomination funny bills out there but as long as they are not used in place of a real bill they are not counterfeit.
Because it is not a copy of a real note it is not counterfeiting, instead the perpetrator will usually be charged with theft by deception and fraud.
This is how Norfed got into trouble, they were allegedly trying to force people to accept their notes.
