Re: Houston School Officials Call Police After Student Tries Buying Lunch With $2 Bill
I haven't been able to find that in any articles I read, but I heard in a TV report that the "pen didn't work". The pens do not work on bills printed prior to 1960 per the information I've read. I believe the people involved had no idea there were actually two dollar bills and if it hadn't been a two dollar bill I'm betting it would never have been tested in the first place.

Then, suspecting that the student may have coped a genuine bill on a coper or printer they contacted the police who then took the bill to a bank for evaluation. The bank people were able to verify that the bill was authentic. It was not a case of not knowing what a $2 bill was, but more a case of a bad authentication process at the school.
