    As someone who used to deal with counterfeit currency, presenting a fake bill is not a crime.

    Did we ever even find out if the bill in question was actually counterfeit?

      It doesn’t matter. It’s only a crime if you know the bill is fake; and the average person doesn’t know that. Running a red light is a worse offense.
