LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The counterfeit money looked good, but there was one flaw. There's no such thing as a one billion dollar bill.

U.S. Customs agents in California said on Tuesday they had found 250 bogus billion dollar bills while investigating a man charged with currency smuggling.

Tekle Zigetta, 45, pleaded guilty to three federal counts of trying to bring cash, phony bills and a fake $100,000 gold certificate into the United States in January.

Further investigation led agents to a West Hollywood apartment where they found the stash of yellowing and wrinkled one billion dollar bills with an issue date of 1934 and bearing a picture of President Grover Cleveland.

"You would think the $1 billion denomination would be a giveaway that these notes are fake, but some people are still taken in," said James Todak, a secret services agent involved in the probe

dola..

Actually, just today, the lunch lady downstairs had someone pay her in plastic pennies.. only a few mind you but, he walked away and I asked to see them and told her they were plastic. She looked at them and was surprised..

So.. remember, the keys to your future riches lie in plastic coins and billion dollar bills.

Wow

In terms of risk/reward, counterfeit pennies seem much stupider than counterfeit billion-dollar bills.

Both take a special kinda stupid though.

What's worse than counterfeit bills are Canadian money.

I thought the lady trying to break the million dollar bill at wal-mart was bad. What a maroon.

I find canadian coins in my drawer at work fairly often... :mad:

The title made me giggle, nice one Mustang :D
