Man arrested, after using Legal $2 bills

[sjfcontrol]

I don't have any $2 bills but I've seen a few along with Susan B. Anthony $1 coins.

I do know where there is a $3 bill.

Would that be the Affordable Care Act?

I have an uncut sheet of $2 bills mounted in a frame in my office. Have had several people look at it and exclaim "Those look real!"

Wonder what best buy would do if I took that sheet and a pair of scissors with me, and started snipping out the bills at the register.

You don't have to, just listen to Steve Wozniak of Apple founder fame talk about how he's been questioned by the Secret Service for ripping $2 bills off a pad!

Keep on mind this article was published in 2005. I'm sure we're a lot dumber now :D

This is beyond stupid.

I agree. Anyone using $2 bills should be fined, not arrested.
Back in my day, we had $1 bills, and we were glad we had 'em.

This paper money thing is just a fad, hard currency is the only way to go.

That was GREAT! Never knew "The Woz" was such a jokester.

Woz is a jokester from way back. I have a friend who went to high school with him and he was always pulling pranks.

My Dad liked to go to PGA tournaments, and would go to the bank and get one hundred $1 bills in serial number order and glue them to gether like a pad of paper. Then whenever he was in a tipping situation, he would rip off a few to the surprised bellboy/whoever. Then his buddy would say, be careful with those, they might still be wet. :)

The post office used to give Suzie B dollars for change in their stamp vending machines, so I would save them for tips. They were about the size of a quarter, and I would get weird looks from the help when I tipped them. I never did get to see theri faces when they figured out what they really were.

So Best Buy says they are calling the police. Do you ask them if you are being detained against your will? If they say yes, I guess you can add kidnapping. If they say no then you leave before the police arrive and arrest you. As apparently in Baltimore you will be arrested till they "find out".

In my business we don't act until after we "find out".

Surprisingly he wasn't charged with resisting arrest, that indicates a very patient man.

Someone needed a butt chewing. If they did not know that 2 dollar bills are legal tender (everyone involved) they need education and he needs a HUGE apology. Like at least a five digit apology.

Thats a shame. Just last night I paid for a pizza with a 2.00 bill and the girl, who couldn't have been more than 22 yrs old, simply said it had been a while since she had seen on.
I may only be ten years her elder but it still surprised me she even knew what it was and that it was real.

Too bad they don't sell pizza at Best Buy.
