Can’t they get in trouble for that?.......................
That bugs me, too, but you can’t reason with a person who is educated far beyond his/her ability to think........................
Rocket surgeons...................
Meaning that larger cash transactions have to use a lot more of the resources, the special rag paper and the ink, as well as labor and transportation. Let's sic the enviroweenies on them to reinstate the 500 and 1,000! It's for the children!
I think I might’a noticed if my twos referenced Boston on their faces!
When I was in college in the 1980’s me and a few students were discussing the antics of the variously stupid PHD’s and professors on campus and one PHD in particular and a student, a sweet black lady finally just said, “he isn’t anything but an educated fool”.
Looks like these college instructors have been successful in teaching their foolishness and spreading it into the local classrooms. Common core and all the crap from Washington doesn’t do half the damage to public education as the teachers, administrators and boards of education at the local level, your neighbors. A lot of these people are nothing more than communist heathens.
As for the police in this story, really you so stupid you don’t recognize a $2 bill and when you are found wrong don’t have the decency to apologize. Putz...
I thought maybe you were in the navy a loooooooooooooong time ago!
Yep. My “war” was the Cuban Missile Crisis.
We used to have a tradition of women signing our paper money and I remember Ivy Baker Priest due to her catchy name
Pat's sister Bay Buchanan used to sign our currency
It was my understanding that $1000 bills were used solely for inter-bank transfers and for an individual to possess one would be very rare.
Now of course all inter-bank transfers ate electronic and thus they are superfluous.
Correct, but inflation may make the $1000 bill the new ‘Benjamin’......................
24 June 1968 was the last day to redeem it as silver.
We used to call this FELONY ARMED ROBBERY, and NO I don’t give a damn they gave his property back to him.
They ALL BELONG IN PRISON, and NO MI don’t care if they are STUPID, The LAW is the LAW, THEY ROBBED HIM AT GUNPOINT, Yes the Officer was wearing a Gun, that makes it FELONY ARMED ROBBERY.
Wondering just how true this story is, remember this being posted once in a while over the years:
http://www.snopes.com/business/money/tacobell.asp
My recollection is that school lunch cashiers were the most observant and successful coin collectors, receiving all sorts of odd coins and cash, and would likely be astute enough to swap up for the rarer stuff.
“Something like this happened at Taco Bell in the last few years too. The cashier didn’t think that a $2 was a thing.”
Snopes shot that one down, see my post #96.
I have suspicions about this story, too.
