This reason is getting pretty old - CasetheAce, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"4. Crisp $2 bills? What could be 'crisp' about a bill that has been out of circulation for decades?"
Um... you can still get BRAND NEW $2 Bills easily if you just go to your bank. Someone just used a 2003 $2 Bills at work the other day - mmm_linux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i love to pay for stuff in $2 bills, its fun to look at the peoples faces. once and a while they thake 2 ones out of there pocket and put that in the register and take the 2.
- GiBill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Firs off this guy never should have been arrested. This story is ridiculous. But as to the comment mad by Wuss "
And what do you expect out of police when the only criteria to be a cop is that you graduated high school and have no felonies on your record?"
thats not true police officers need to have at least 60 credits of college and pass a government service exam as well as the police academy. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I thought this had to be taken out of context, or there had to be special circumstances. But no, it's just an average Joe trying to pay his bill.
I know just the Best Buy employee I'm going to try this on next time I have to make a purchase (if I can't find the same thing at half the cost online). - jmccorm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14TH BEST DIGG EVAR!!!!! ME LIKE!!
- Aeudian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I live 2 minutes from this best buy in baltimore county. this news is about 2 months old but still a goody. To bad he cant do anything about being arreested
- ckrimmel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1and why can't he do anything about getting arrested? defamation of character, public humiliation, arrest w/ out cause. people simply get booked and then released for murdering people yet this dude pays in 2 dollar bills and gets handcuffed to a pole for 3 hours. I would sue the police department for exactly that, public humiliation, defamation of character and poor cause. If they have a marker that checks if a bill is legal tender then their is no reason why they should have arrested him because it had some "smeared ink". Just another reason not to go to 'Best Buy', their staff really is a bunch of morons.
- wormdrink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Terrorist are now passing counterfeit two dollar bills? We'll never be safe! Code Red! Code Red! Two dollar bills!!!!
- pentakle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19/11 was 4 years ago for God's sake, and Best Buy should refund him the whole damn lot - what morons, i'm going to the bank to get me some $2 bills!
- Makyla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1im never buying from best buy now.
- dreadful, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2On the $2 "a bill that has been out of circulation for decades? " that is where you are wrong i have a crisp $2 bill in my wallet right now that was made in 1995 and is still crisp and still today you can order sheet of them for legal use. So you cant say this is fake when you don't know what you talking about
- sninky-chan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1FYI, this isn't the first time:
http://www.digiserve.com/eescape/closet/silly/2-at-Taco-Bell.html - dmron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. ***** the po' lice.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How does this have ANYTHING to do with 9/11!?
- thergj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I hope he sues EVERYBODY.
- ppflea, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I never seen one :(
- sninky-chan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Godwin's Law!
- Csmap, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0He probably can't do anything about it because of the slew of laws passed since 9-11 that give so much leeway to police... their allowed to do a whole lot more based on a lot less evidence.
- doorman444, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i have been collecting them for years. i hope that i never have to pay a bill with them,I don't have an attorney LOL
- bnitro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0guy should sue them for everything theyve got both the city and bestbuy
- Kozlo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thats great, I work at a restaurant where every week we have a couple that comes in and pays with nothing but new two dollar bills (still in bank wraps) including tips, curiously for some time another man paid in nothing but those gold dollar coins, I cant remember ever thinking of calling the police.
- jmccorm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0thecritic: "No way this can be a real story."
Oh. I see that you haven't been to a Best Buy?
I couldn't even get them to cross-dock (ship from store to store) a TV, even after three attempts. Their offer of free white glove delivery and installation wasn't enough to keep me at that point. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@Kozlo
You fool! They're terrorists/communists/nazis/red coats... depending on the time frame. You need to call the police!
Did this guy ever get an apology or anything? - rebrad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You need to know that Maryland is one of the states that allow first cousins to marry. That with their education system that dwells on political correctness and not the basics makes occurrences like this commonplace. It normal to them.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is actually pretty cool...You can get free meals for retards this way. Ill have to get some and head over to the least english speaking fast food place I can find.
- Namtaru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I used to work a coffee shop accross the street from a bank, people would come in with $2 bills fairly often, I collected some of the better looking ones, I have a couple of very crisp ones. I guess a lot of people go into the bank for them around xmas time, for gifts and stuff. After you own 1 nice one there really isn't much point to getting them, other than to see the look on peoples faces when you hand them five 2s instead of a ten :p
- wormdrink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Free meals for retards, Yay!
- whitesanjuro, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0GiBill - that makes me feel *much* safer...:( personally, i view the police as an unwanted occupying army, but thats just me.
- diggerphelps, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I wood jest love two sea people get "there," "they're," and "their" right.
- Wuss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Since when was a pimple faced 17 yr old cashier at Best Buy a counterfeit bill specialist?
And what do you expect out of police when the only criteria to be a cop is that you graduated high school and have no felonies on your record? - mushroom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0rebrad are you telling the truth they can marry there cousins thats ***** sick man! dose there kids come out with four arms LoL
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0they make 2 doller bills every 20 years I beilive. I went to the mint in DC. So after they make em its a while till there crisp again (unless you go to bank) but otherwise, they could be.
- thecritic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0There are too many unusual things about this story.
1. They didn't realize the radio didn't fit once he pulled it out of Best Buy.
2. At the least, BB would pick up cost for the proper dash kit and labor. It makes absolutely no sense that they exchange models because a head unit didn't fit in the dash. Correct me if I'm wrong but I could have sworn that was the purpose of the dash kit.
3. The 9/11 reference, makes absolutely no sense here, since when has it been a matter of national security that a terrorist has a head unit installed in a car?
4. Crisp $2 bills? What could be 'crisp' about a bill that has been out of circulation for decades?
5. Who lets a customer leave a store, go home for a day or so and then call them and threaten to call the police. If you have a receipt why would he bother going to pay for the installation?
No way this can be a real story.
