"ROANOKE RAPIDS -- Police are searching for a man who paid for $150 in groceries at a Food Lion grocery store with a $200 bill.
The man walked out of the store with his groceries and $50 in change before the fake bill was discovered Sept. 6.
The bogus bill -- the U.S. Mint does not print a $200 bill -- bore the image of President Bush on the front and had the White House on the back. It also included signs on the front lawn of the White House with slogans such as "We like broccoli" and "USA deserves a tax cut," Roanoke Rapids police said.
Instead of being labeled a Federal Reserve note, the fake bill was marked as a "Moral Reserve Note." The bill bore the signatures of Ronald Reagan, political mentor; and George H.W. Bush, campaign adviser and mentor.
Food Lion said normal policy is not to accept bills over $100."
I'll hazard a guess that my ex-husband has finally found gainful employment - at the Food Lion!!

I can't believe that the cashier accept the bogus bill despite the policy forbidding bills over #100. I find it hard to believe that he got away with it!
<<<-------Used to pay his chapter dues with $200 bills. (And get change!)
