Just do it like we do it in the US, $50s and $100s get checked consistently for counterfeits, $20s sometimes, $1s, $5s, and $10s never, and $2s are automatically assumed to be fake.

Yeah but what the hell is a Kong worth at the moment of sale? Unless the price is listed in this particular crypto people will have to do a live conversion to even know what this space cash is even worth. Also, very funny (and accurate) about the $2

  A Kong is worth what I think it's worth. If I saw Kongs trading for 1 beer in the morning and some guy insisted that the rate was now 1.45 Kongs a beer in the evening I might object.

    Yeah for sure, especially since there apparently aren’t partial Kongs.

>$2s are automatically assumed to be fake Steve Wozniak used to keep uncut sheets of $2 bills that he perforated and would tear off to give tips to people. He has a great story about secret service agents detaining him and accepting his fake ID ("Laser Safety Officer" - it showed him with an eyepatch on) and generally having no idea $2 existed. https://www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v18n36a40.html https://www.coinbooks.org/esylum_v18n36a40.html

Why are $2's assumed fake?
- dragonwriter 7y ago
  They are so rarely encountered than many people don't think that they are a denomination actually issued.
  - undersuit 7y ago
    Correct, they aren't issued by anyone but cool grandpas and uncles in my experience.

      You must not live in a state where pot is legal; in such places $2 bills floating around everywhere, I use them all the time. The reason: cash businesses use them heavily to reduce the amount of physical cash they need to maintain and move around. Pot shops occupy a gray area legally and banks don't like to deal with them so they often operate old school: cash businesses. I have a few in my wallet most of the time, like to use them for tips when I eat out.

I use Twos all the time. I have never had it checked, or assumed fake.
