Funny Money

by Mike Wasdin

One thing that I always get a kick out of is when I buy something with my fake Federal Reserve Notes, and the Cashier whips out her magic pen. You know the one I am talking about, the one that is able to distinguish between the counterfeit notes that the Federal Reserve prints, and the ones the average novice counterfeiter prints. With a swipe of the pen, they have assured themselves that the notes I have given them are legal tender. I always wonder if they have ever given any thought to the fact that all U.S. currency is counterfeit.

Is something real simply because a large amount of people believe it is?
