United States police are searching for a man who paid for his groceries with aforged 200 dollar bank note bearing the image of President George W Bush.
A cashier accepted the bill, which also showed a picture of the White House,with signs on the lawn including "we like ice cream" and "USA deserves a taxcut".
Police were startled that the note was accepted because it was so blatantlyfake Mr Bush does not appear on any US bills and the US Mint does not evenprint such a denomination.
The imitation was marked as "moral legal tender" and also bore a counterfeitsignature of former President Ronald Reagan who was described as "PoliticalMentor".
The man used the forgery to pay for groceries worth 150 dollars at the FoodLion store in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. The note was discovered onSeptember 6.
