Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills at Best Buy

I wonder what they would've done with the coins (featuring Sacagawea) pictured here. They're legal tender too, and I pass them out as change on my egg route all the time - along with $2 bills. "Makes folks remember you" is what one retail pro told me.

I would say that this'll insure I never shop at Best Buy again, but the service and quality issues I've run into there over the years has pretty much chased me away already.

When Mike Bolesta went to pay his bill at Best Buy, he had no idea he'd end up in trouble with the Secret Service for supposed counterfeiting.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
