ANOTHER STUPID COUNTERFEITING STORY

  On  January 6, 2004 The Associated Press reported that
  a Vancouver, Washington man pulled over for a traffic
  violation  "got his mother to try to post bail with $500 in
  poorly made counterfeit bills from his wallet..."

  "At 5:30 a.m. Ludwig asked his mother to bail him out with
  money in his wallet.  She handed $500 to a clerk, who saw
  the money was phony, told her to wait and called police."

  The police report, made available Monday, described the
  counterfeit bills as bad copies that were the wrong size."

  The mother refused to post bail in genuine currency and
  the son remained in jail.   To read the full story, see:
