$200 Bill

I read about this a few days ago (a week?) and I thought what a stupid clerk to accept a $200 bill! But more than one clerk has done so—and given change!! Does this look real to you?

However, one of my managers back when I worked retail took the opposite extreme and tried to refuse a $2 bill because she thought such a thing didn't exist. Come on—who would produce such a real looking bill that small? Granted we had just had a fake $20 bill that one of the employees accepted. Corporate said the employee should have known it was a fake so deducted it from that manager's paycheck. The $2 bill customer started to get upset at the manager's implication that it was fake; I quietly told the manager that it was okay, $2 bills do exist.
