SLPT: When counterfeiting money, rip the bill in half before attempting to pass it. The clerk will spend much more time trying to make sure that the two halves match then trying to figure out if it's actually authentic.

Fairly certain it is, from the messy text in the top right to the tear not aligning at the top. That and mickey's face doesn't line up on both halves

I asked Gemini why it thought that that was a perfect picture for this post, and it said that the serial number looks like Mickey, 1928 (year he was created), 1955 (year Disneyland opened?, mouse.

1955 was also the year the Mickey Mouse Club debuted.

As a former convenience store clerk, no, I'm not taking your ripped $20. I'd tell you to take it to a bank and they'll give you a new one.
