Well, this nixes my plan to pass a Confederate ten spot

Man arrested for trying to pay with a genuine $50 bill.

Maybe not. Using the illogic so prevalent in today's government, one could assert that new money printed to confound counterfeiters.

You might be right. Some of our new (and legit) currency looks a little funny to me.

Is there a cafeteria in your office building? Buy the director a cup of coffee with the Rebel money, and see what happens.

Passing a Confederate ten spot?

The only sure thing you would be accused of, is being a raaacist!

I ran into the same situation. Luckily I was a regular at the place and the cashier was a bright gal.

Not that I'm blaming the cashier in this story. They were probably hamstrung by company policy and the story doesn't comment on the arrestee's behavior/demeanor in the incident.

It's my fault. I drew a red fedora and a red suit on Grant.

I've noticed that nearly every time I pay with a new bill higher than $5, the cashier takes out a marker and puts a mark on it. Why is that?

You're lucky. Our managers here don't know what the price for one is at four for five dollars. No really.
