    JUDGE TO COUNTERFEITER: YEAH, SURE...

    Len Augsberger forwarded the following counterfeiting
    story from the Reuters newswire:

    "A Danish man was sentenced to 25 days in jail after
    trying to buy a pizza with fake banknotes he said his
    grandchildren had made for a game of Monopoly.

    The 57-year-old said he had rented two color photocopiers
    to make extra fake money for the regular family games of
    Finans, a Danish version of the popular board game, the
    news agency Ritzau reported on Monday.

    He said he had simply made a mistake when he tried to
    pay for pizza and ice cream with a fake 500 crown ($80) note.

    But the court, hearing that he had been carrying 57,000
    crowns worth of forged notes when he was arrested, followed
    one of the Monopoly game's instructions and told him to
    "Go to Jail." Full Story
