I'm assuming you're wrote this tongue in cheek. Cooper absconded with his bills in 1971 — 54 years ago. Do you really believe that spending one of them today would bring trouble?
- rtkwe 1y agoI think there'd be a fair amount of interest though I'm not sure how tightly bills returned for destruction are monitored for known serial numbers like that so I'm not sure if anyone could notice. But if they are I think it'd trigger some interest at least just to figure out where you might have gotten it from. Anyone know if there's a monitoring program for serial numbers of interest?

- rtkwe 1y agoIt's just numbers in a database if they're doing automated scanning, it's basically free to keep an alert around, and if the bills show up new out of nowhere it means there's a decent chance you're relatively close to their original source. The FBI gets out of bed for more inane things than maybe figuring out what happened to DB Cooper (he probably died during the jump or after landing) after all this time.
- echelon_musk 1y agoThese arguments suppose there's an FBI agent with a printed list of serial numbers positioned nationwide at every store. In practice, if you spend less than $10,000 a time, you'd probably be fine?
