    For the “bill” itself, we can’t see the other side, but there’s enough differences that you wouldn’t mistake it for real currency at more than a glance. Fake bills for movie/tv sets look far closer to real bills (basically with obviously fake serial numbers and “for movie use only” stamped on it.

    For leaving it as a tip, it’s not being used to satisfy a payment. While tipping is expected, it’s not required and there’s not an agreed upon amount between the parties. So they’re just leaving a scummy flyer behind. Not any different than the people that ‘tip’ with Chick Tracts. If they were to use it to try and pay the bill, it’d be illegal.

      Gotcha, good call out on the front of the bill. I am curious if OP has that for us to see. Thank you for the explanation.
