Five Dollar Bill aka Monopoly Money

I know a may be a little behind the times, but have you seen the new five dollar bill?! I had one in my change back from Barnes and Noble the other day. I tried to give it back. I told the lady I thought it was fake. She looked at me like I was crazy. I looked at her like, “b!@&*, I will knock you out”. She retrieved the manager and he proceeded to hit on me (probably just to calm me down–he knows how to use sex as a weapon) then told me the bill was legit.

Basically, I made fool of myself.

Had I known I would not have made such a big deal about it, but this stuff looks fake! What exactly is going through the treasury’s mind? A giant purple five? They must have been doing psychedelics when they thought the redesign up.

I can appreciate that they gave Lincoln a face lift…he was looking a bit old.

    The first time I saw one was at CLAW and I did a double take. I thought someone was trying to cheat us by trading fake money for fake money and almost handed it back to them.
