I guess Monopoly money was too last week

Or kids are just getting a hell of a lot savvier now:

WEST SEATTLE, Washington (AP) — A
sixth-grader and two of his friends were suspended after being accused
of using phony dollar bills made on a home computer to buy food in the
school cafeteria.

On Monday, a cafeteria worker at James

Madison Middle School found a dollar bill that didn’t look or feel like

the real thing. Seattle School District spokeswoman Patti Spencer said

people in the lunch room were told to watch for more counterfeit bills.

An

assistant principal called Seattle police the next day after a sixth

grader tried to use one of the fake bills to buy beef jerky from the

cafeteria.

Although I must say, if you’re gonna get busted using counterfeit money by accident, shouldn’t you be buying something a little classier than beef jerky? Or maybe it’s just me…
