Nautica Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 http://www.thesmokinggun.com/doc_o_day/doc_o_day.html?yhnws SEPTEMBER 12--North Carolina cops are searching for a guy who successfully passed a $200 bill bearing George W. Bush's portrait and a drawing of the White House complete with lawn signs reading "We like ice cream" and "USA deserves a tax cut." The phony Bush bill--a copy of which you'll find below--was presented to a cashier at a Food Lion in Roanoke Rapids on September 6 by an unidentified male who was seeking to pay for $150 in groceries. Remarkably, the cashier accepted the counterfeit note and gave the man $50 change. In a separate incident involving a different perp, Roanoke Rapids cops Tuesday arrested Michael Harris, 24, for attempting last month to pass an identical $200 Bush bill at a convenience store Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/101076-200-bill-bearing-george-w-bushs-portrait/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

poind Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Separate, but related: There have actually been a number of TV documentaries, etc. done about a guy by name of J. S. G. Boggs. He makes detailed, original "works of art" that look like U.S. money, then goes around trying to exchange them at "face value" in trade for goods he wants. (Ultimately doesn't deceive people that they're actual U.S. money though.) Certainly had court cases and run-ins with government, but many places do end up (knowingly) accepting his stuff as worth what he says, and more-or-less treating it like currency. Anyway.... He's done some great money-art, regardless of anything else, if anyone cares about related stuff. http://artscenecal.com/ArticlesFile/Archiv...99/JBoggsA.html http://www.jsgboggs.com/whois.html http://www.pbs.org/wnet/egg/217/boggs/index.html Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/101076-200-bill-bearing-george-w-bushs-portrait/#findComment-1165474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
