Counterfeit Notes:

Something went wrong at the forger's shop and he ended up with a bundle of counterfeit 15-rupee notes. Reluctant to scrap the lot, he decided to test their acceptability in a small town, far from the city.
Arriving there, he strolled over to a roadside tobacconist and asked for a one-rupee cigarette. His heart was in his mouth when he held out one of his 15-rupee notes to the man, but the tobacconist did not even give it a second look. He threw it into his till and handed over the change:two seven-rupee notes.
