To prove that we're thorough, fair and sometimes balanced, we offer you a follow-up story to the Pennsylvania woman who used a $200 bill to pay for items at a Fashion Bug store.
The charges have been dropped. The defendant, Deborah Trautwine, apparently convinced prosecutors that she truly thought the bill was valid currency.
The clerk in Greensburg, Pa., had the same thought. She gave Trautwine about $100 in change.
We suppose now we'll have to drive to Greensburg to use our own $750 bills.
They're real.
Honest!
