Not Everyone Is Smart Enough To Rob Banks

Remember the joke about the stupid counterfeiters who print $15 bills, and try to exchange in the Ozarks, because the hillbillies aren't smart enough to know any better--until they get offered $3 bills in change?

This report in the January 6, 2011 Idaho Statesman reports on a Phoenix bank robber:

Police in the Phoenix area are looking for a bank robbery suspect they've dubbed the "$60 Bill Bandit" because he once asked a teller for $40 and $60 bills - denominations that aren't printed.
It's rather sad that this AP news story felt the need to explain that those bills do not exist.

    On the other side of this is the recent movie "The Town" which is practically a how-to guide to bank robbery, including how to contaminate the crime scene and sanitize your ammunition
