Exclusive: Faking Out America with Funny MoneyNov 16 2004 by Greg Kuhl
Elated that his fake $200 bill featuring President George W. Bush fooled a shopper and store clerk in Pennsylvania, the funny money's creator says he has more tricks up his sleeve.How about the Condi Rice 26-cent piece? Or the Dick Cheney $4 bill? Or the Donald Rumsfeld half-penny? They're all in the future currency pipeline of Mr. X, who doesn't want to be identified in case the Feds want to pursue counterfeiting charges against him for the Pennsylvania case - where a shopper used the $200 bill to pay for clothing, and the clerk provided about $100 in real money in change. Authorities said neither was aware that the $200 bill was not real, nor that America doesn't even have a $200 bill - much less one with a serial number of Dubya4U2001 and a picture on the back of the White House with a lawn sign extolling the virtues of broccoli. "I never thought in my wildest dreams that anyone would think it was real," Mr. X said in a telephone interview from his home in a red state, or maybe it was a blue state. "It was a joke meant to entertain me and my friends. "But now that somebody fell for it, it opens up all sorts of new marketing opportunities," Mr. X said. "With all the red states out there, I think the Rice piece and the Cheney bill will go over big, and make me tons of real money. "Coins and bills with President Bush's image would be rather obvious, so we might want to go with Karl Rove and Paul Wolfowitz, you know, the Bush movers and shakers that the public might not know all that much about. "Even though California voted for John Kerry, I'm thinking an Arnold Schwarzenegger $15 bill might be a big seller," Mr. X added. "And maybe various coins with every Boston Red Sox player would go over well in New England. There's little chance I could pass off Kerry currency there, much less a red state." Mr. X admitted there's a touch of greed and real dollar signs dancing in his head. "With the gullibility of the American public," Mr. X said with a chuckle, "it could be a gold mine."
