Oh, no, he didn't make these, Bel.
(At least, I don't think he did.)
The headline (jokingly) refers to one's ability to photo-copy the images for ill-gotten gain, if they so chose.

It's no big loss, Corbin ... the xerox copies weren't very convincing-looking, anyway.

Here we go again........
No, you know you'd have to spend it all on lawyers.....
And, just for your information......Secret Service agents came to a school here in Louisville, Ky yesterday and arrested 6 high school students for counterfeiting $20 bills......so that won't work either.

That's very interesting, Corbin ...
And, would they have to have been obtained legally? Like, what if, just for example, the glass case they were sealed in had been broken into, somehow.

It would be interesting to see if a bank would actually cash it, Tanga ...
I suspect
not ... considering that the bill was discontinued rather quickly, and never actually circulated among the public.

I agree totally, fourcats.
In fact, I used to carry a "2" around in my purse, and just take it out and smell it every once in a while.

i have a serious love for u.s. paper currency and i've never figured out
why exactly but suspect it has everything to do with the fonts, color and the
smell. u.s. money has a very particular odor about it. it's probably due to the ink that's used. and i really really like the color. i would like to have a room painted that color, with cream trim.

Thank you, TAPS ...
it's pretty rare that I do (quasi-)informational posts anymore, so it's nice to do one every now and then.
And, I really don't mind being sick, actually ... for obvious reasons.
