Police in the American state of Kentucky are looking for a fraudster with a sense of humour, who paid for an ice cream with a fake $200 bill which featured a smiling President Bush and poked fun at him.

There is no such thing as a $200 bill. Nor do any dollar bills show the face of Mr Bush or any living US president - smirking or otherwise.



At a distance it looks like a real bill, it's got the green colour

The fake note also depicted the White House, with a sign on the lawn reading: "We like broccoli" - an apparent reference to the president's father, who said he could not stand the stuff. But a cashier at a Dairy Queen fast food restaurant in Danville, Kentucky did not notice anything unusual when a woman used the note to pay for a $2 ice-cream and gave her $198 in change. "At a distance it looks like a real bill, it's got the green colour," said Detective Bob Williamson of Danville police, when asked how the cashier possibly could mistake it for genuine money.
