Clerk accepts fake $200 'Bush' bill


At first glance it looked like the real thing, so store clerk Kathryn Miller was happy to accept the $200 bill as payment -- and even make change.

The bill did carry a picture of President George W. Bush, but he is not one of the presidents who appear on the U.S. currency and in any case there is no such thing as a $200 (112 pounds) bill.

Among other things, the bill had a hokey serial number – DUBYA4U2001.
