At least they were not trying to dupe anyone .....................LOL

I watched a video the other week it was saying that North Korea makes the best $100 fakes

Dual pricing even to buy fake $100 notes? 

I find this ironic. 

 

Technically (pre-fiat money when gold was the standard), the reason for gold actually being the standard was because to find gold and increase the currency supply meant that an enormous amount of time, energy, expense, capital investment, and human input went into the process.

 

Nowadays fiat money is created with zero expense by adding a few zeroes on a computer keyboard.

 

So as these ladies put in quite a bit of effort and expense to create their "fake" money, technically it probably has a greater economic value than the real fiat money - please excuse the oxymoron.

Old school report said: must try harder.

Very unusual to see the BiB with wads of cash that are not clothed in brown paper.

My maths report said: thank the lord he's good at sport.

One of my fathers employees put an add in a local paper saying he had an AR-16 fully modified to automatic for sale.  He also put in the add that it was highly illegal.

The police had someone call him and ask if he could bring it to their house.  Which he did.  Above the other charges they added transporting an illegal weapon.

People doing silly things is not limited to Thailand.

My year 7 teacher said in my report that I had no grasp of maths and would never excel at anything involving it.

I ended up a Commercial pilot for 40 years. 

Guess they got that wrong. 

(No crashes by the way)

The US just keeps churning them out anyway, which half the worlds problem.

The girls thought they could join the party
