    I'd have to say it's a pretty stupid idea.

    I have a great idea, print up hundred dollar bills and sell them for 40 US dollars. Then sell items valued at 39 dollars for one hundred of your phony dollars. EVERYONE WINS.

    Oh wait, that would be stupid wouldn't it?

    Dumbasses.

    Just thought of something, would these idiots make bills that are as hard to counterfeit as normal bills? If not, I could see some awesome fraud going on. Nice.

    Maybe they should simply try fair prices and exceptional service?

    Could work.
