The Million Dollar Question: Who is on the $200 bi
Sunday. 10.5.03 6:20 pm
Everyone knows that Benjamin Franklin’s face stares back from a $100 bill, but whose face plasters a $200 bill? If the cashier at a Food Lion store had looked at the paper money in his hand, he would have answered “George W. Bush.!”
On September 6, 2003 an unidentified man entered a Food Lion in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina and made a purchase of $150. He paid his order with a phony $200 bill. Had the cashier looked down and realized that the United States Mint does not print $200 bills, he would not have given the forger his $50 in change.
The front of the counterfeit bill featured President George W. Bush’s face. “The Right to Bear Arms” circled a minuteman figure while “Moral Reserve Note” was written across the top. Fittingly, the barcode was DUBYA4U2001.
The back of the bill pictured the White House with signs picketed in the lawn with slogans such as “We like Ice Cream,” “We Like Broccoli,” “USA Deserves a Tax Cut” and “No More Scandals.” An oil drill complements the right side of the bill as well.
Remarkably, this is not the first incident involving a counterfeit $200 bill. Three days later, Roanoke police arrested 24-year-old Michael Harris for his use of an identical bill from a separate case at a convenience store in August.
The police are still looking for the suspect from the Red Lion store.
Although the cashier may be to blame for not recognizing that a $200 bill does not exist, the incident certainly says something about our country. The political slurs toward George W. Bush also declare how some people feel with regards to his duties, obligations, and decisions as President of the United States.
When gathered at the dinner table with the family for the holidays, ask, “Whose face is on the $200 bill?” and see how many people stop and think.
