Really, really dumb criminals

[onlinebiker]

I read a newspaper article once (yes, I'm that old) about an American forger who was making phony $20 bills. He was making them by cutting the corners off of legit 20s and pasting them onto the corners of legit singles. So, he was ruining $21 worth of valid currency to create a counterfeit $20 that fooled literally no one.

Boru

But he didn' t.

Tear one corner off of a $20.

Spend that $20. Nobody will refuse taking it.

Do that 4 times.

Turn $1 into a $20.

Unfortunately - most people look at the portrait on the bill - not the numbers on the corners..


So it still doesn' t work.
