Fake Charity Hands Out Fake Benjamins

The Iranian government is known to be a prodigious counterfeiter of US $100 dollar bills, and now Hezbollah are handing out truckloads of the things (North Korea, though are the current counterfeit champs)

Some folks are questioning whether all the money being handed out in $12000 bundles of $100 bills is legit (all the bills in the photos they could find look 'hot of the press' and uncirculated, which should be considered suspicious in of itself given that they are far away from any US Federal Reserve that would be handing out millions of freshly printed US dollars, if these were legitimate bills, there should be plenty of circulated notes in the mix)

I say the bills are as legitimate as Hezbollah's charity, the current cease-fire, the UN proclamation to disarm Hezbollah, and Arab outrage at Israeli agression.

In other words, check your benjamins very carefully.
