WTF is wrong with these Republicans?

This is another reason many businesses like to go cashless. Because of BS like counterfeit bills, hollywood prop money, unsuspecting people who don't know they have these fake bills, etc. It's often low income or elderly people using cash. And the person arrested may be someone else who got the cash in some other transaction or trade. Cash can change hands several times before being checked for counterfeits.
