Police: Man's fake $100 bills had wrong face
ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — A Rhode Island man police say used counterfeit $100 bills to make purchases at a Target store made a critical mistake.
The bills had a picture of President Abraham Lincoln on them. Real $100 bills bear a picture of Benjamin Franklin. Lincoln's portrait graces the $5 bill.
Dana Leland of Central Falls, R.I., was held on $1,000 cash bail after pleading not guilty Wednesday in Attleboro District Court to charges of uttering a counterfeit note and possession of a counterfeit note.
Police tell The Sun Chronicle the 29-year-old Leland used the fake notes on three consecutive days at the North Attleborough store to buy items worth less than $25.
Leland's lawyer said her client has struggled with drug and alcohol problems and untreated mental health issues, and had a relapse.

Lincoln got a promotion.
It's all about the Lincolns..................er............Benjamins.Â
I thought Nixon was on the hunnert
You can't fix stupid, you just can't! Ha ha.
so in others words....rappers should get locked up for uttering counterfeit notes....cuz it sure ain't music.
 @beernpizza Now that I an agree with, Noiz pollution at its worst.
Word up.
Looks like Abe Franklin, little known fifth cousin, thrice removed of Benjamin.
History has little or nothing to say about him. More nothing than little, actually.

Died when he tried to extract a tooth by tying one end of a string around a
the tooth and the other end around a very large rock and having some friends
push the rock off a 500ft cliff. Unfortunately for Abe, he was standing between
the rock and the edge of the cliff...and his friends were quite drunk at the time.
Â
Obviously he hadn't inherited his relative's smarts.

Â
In other words it's not her fault, right?
 @RalphCramden Sometimes you call it just right, Ralph.
 @RalphCramden Sigh...it never is Ralph. It never is.
 @MikeyÂ
It really is sad for sure. And it will never end.
Maybe the clerk that took the bill should get paid with Monopoly money.
I would hate to have to admit to my employer that I took the bill and gave the man change.
"$1,000 cash bail" huh?
Let me print that right up for you, heh.
Â
I find it incredible that, if the guy was having a relapse into drugs, he wasn't out ripping off some dealer too stupid or high to notice if his OWN face was on a bill.
Instead, clerks at Target are supposed to fall for this? That's quite an insult to checkers.
Q: What are you in for?????
A:Â Uttering

 @WendyTeagarden Is this another cow article????
Â
Can we please get to the meat of the issue?
@Kushfan That will cost you a Franklin.
@beernpizza No but it is a bunch of bull
 @WendyTeagarden That's utterly ridiculous!
@WendyTeagarden Answer mixing up Benjamin Lincoln with Abraham Franklin.......
Aretha Franklin?
