Had a guy come into the office and pay a fee with this:

The coworker who took the payment tipped me off as she knows I’m into antiques. I swapped her the face value of the note for it. Haven’t looked up what it’s worth, but it’s a lot more than the face value.

Actually, he knew that it was a silver certificate and wanted the receipt to reflect that he paid with a silver certificate. He knew that it was worth more than face value and insisted on paying with it anyways. At a minimum, it's worth $20-30.

Mentally challenged? What possible purpose is there to giving the government more than what is owed?
