PRESCOTT -- Officer Friendly said a man tried to buy merchandise in Prescott with $100 bills that had the wrong image.
"If that's Franklin I'm Big Macintosh."
Authorities say they responded to two attempts last week to pass funny money at Prescott businesses.

The Daily Courier reports that an officer who responded to a thrift store noted that one of the bills had an image of Honest Abe instead of Ben Franklin. The officer also wrote in a report that the bill was softer than standard currency and had been printed in a lighter color.
Wrong century, beauzeau.
A grocery store manager noticed the same flaws with another C-note at the second business.

Police say descriptions of a man who fled from both businesses match. No charges have been filed.
Hopefully, he'll think he succeeded and slip up.

#2  Printing too much real currency should be a crime.

#1  I don't believe printing incorrect currency is actually a crime.
