Message:: [QUOTE="Silverhouse, post: 1148071, member: 29452"]I had an experience once back in 2006. I went to buy some gas and gave the clerk a $20 bill. He handed it back and said it's fake, and I said, no, you just never seen a 20 dated 1969 before, It is real, he took it back and the owner came out who was way past the age of consent and I know was alive back in 1969, so I turned to him and said/asked, "This is a real 20, I'm sorry if your clerk can't tell real money from fake money, would you PLEASE take this, it's REAL! He said the date was too old, and I said here is another 20, feel the paper its the same! The first clerk said, see its fake the new 20 has a bigger face that one is much smaller! I told them it's how they were designed back then. Both clerks, the young kid and the owner would not take my 1969 20.00 Bill. I had no idea people in general were this.... I'm going to say it. STUPID. I'm sorry but come on. Didn't they teach these kids anything about money in school? They taught us how to count with it LOL They get the darwin award. it's not like it was an 1869 20.00 BILL, 1969 is still recent enough. The older gentleman should have known it was real. I swear, sometimes I feell like I'm living in the Twilight Zone, or the timeline's have shifted.  Americans not being able to recognize their own money.  We're in serious trouble. lol...[/QUOTE]
