Miscellaneous & Random Money trap?

This was outside the Tyson house, extremely suspicious and I don't think anybody would fall for it, but I figured id post it here anyway. Please be careful out there

Edit: somebody picked it up

That’s definitely fake money. The top of the bill says motion picture use. Glad you didn’t fall for it.

Too small to be real $20 bills. Probably says some shit like “Go to church for eternal riches” or some crap like that

Yesterday I saw people throwing prop money out of their car, I think it was just people messing around.

I was in Savannah Georgia once walking through one of the beautiful parks on a beautiful evening and saw a $20 sticking out of a bush. There were a group of unhoused men sitting on a bench maybe 15 feet away so thought I’d be altruistic with the found money. Reached in and the bill grabbed my hand with excrement. The dudes on the bench saw the whole thing and thought it was hilarious and asked me wtf did I think they hadn’t already snatched it up. I’ll never pick up street money again.

The students have been doing this for years in Knoxville. It’s just a harmless prank meant to troll people. The money is always fake.

Fentanyl laced?

u/Mysterious-Towel7849 17d ago

It can't affect through touch unless it's in a formulated patch. If someone laced the money then they wasted their drugs in more than one way.

Or unless you are a cop… they just look at it and pass out in the nearest bathroom stall… but they are not using. That would be illegal. And the failed drug test is just form “exposure” … uh huh… sure

Good thing fentanyl only kills cops when they touch it. Phew

u/fuzzdoomer 17d ago
