Line 97:
* Happened at least once in the original ''[[Scooby-Doo (animation)|Scooby Doo]]'' series. (One troper recalls Fred and Daphne screaming "COUNTERFEITERS!" with the same fear and urgency someone else might say "NAZIS!")
* A non-cash variety appears in a story arc of ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]'', Boris and Natasha are mass-producing counterfeit boxtops. The two spend boxtops on goods in every store that can be traded in for boxtops and crippling the economy. This arc had to be cut short due to complaints from [[General Mills]], which was sponsoring the show.
* ''[[The Little Rascals]]'' episode "All the Loot That's Fit to Print" had the Rascals start their own newspaper, using a printing press that they didn't know was already being used by a counterfeiter. When Alfalfa found some of the counterfeit currency, he spent it, assuming that it was genuine. The counterfeiter was a rather [[Stupid Crooks |stupid crook]] who put ''his own'' face on the money. It was rather easy for the police to pin him to the crime when he was caught.
* One episode of ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'' featured Bushroot developing a [[Grows on Trees|money tree]] that grew counterfeit bills. In addition, when the bills were placed into vaults, they would sprout into vines and carry the safes full of real bills back to Bushroot.
* One episode of ''[[Biker Mice From Mars]]'' featured the mice learning that Lawrence Limburger was using counterfeit money. At least until they destroyed his printing facility.
Line 105:
* Daffy tried this on ''[[The Looney Tunes Show]]'' with a poorly drawn twenty dollar bill.
* Believe it or not, Mr. Krabs once did this at the end of an episode of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' after a newspaper business he started went bust.
*
▲* The Sea Hag and Bluto were pretty stupid too in one ''[[Popeye (cartoon)|Popeye]]'' cartoon, counterfeiting $3 bills. (For any non-American Tropers reading, there's no such thing.) The portrait on the front was that of Benedict Arnold in the process of being hanged. Popeye and Olive quickly realized it was fake; [[The Ditz| Wimpy]], however, fell for it quickly.
