Perfect Copy

A man can make perfect counterfeit bills. They look exactly like real ones, they're made of exactly the same materials, made the same way, everything. So perfect, one could pretty much call them real bills. Anyway, one day, he successfully makes a perfect copy of another bill. However, he gets caught when he tries to use the copy. How is this possible?

Well, when you copies, you should make sure you're not copying other, less perfect, counterfeit money.

You also shouldn't perfectly copy the serial number

The bills were real. At least, the ones he was copying.

The serial numbers were probably the only think that wasn't perfectly copied. He wasn't dumb enough to make that mistake, though he was dumb enough to make the mistake he did. Which is pretty dumb,anyway.

I'd say he attempts to insert it into some sort of machine. Maybe not, but could be copying counterfeit $16 bills, like an actual criminal tried to do once.
Or, I'd make sure to copy both sides, if I were this guy.

He gave the bills to a person, not a machine.

Alright, I'll admit defeat. I've tried and tried, but I can't come up with a good riddle. You got it.

And you said he wasn't dumb enough to make the mistake of copying the serial number. But for copying $16 bills?
I guess that when he went to the shop asking to change the $16 note for some smaller change, the shop owner asked "and do you want $8 notes or $4 coins?".
Another possibility: he got arrested not for the fake bill but because he tried to buy drugs with it.

One of his counterfeits got wrinkled before he tried to stick it in a machine maybe?

The actual bills he was copying were $1,000. Cchris's answer was close enough, so I gave it to him.

He tried to bribe the policeman, since he parked in the handicapped zone. Bribe is illegal, and he is out of luck because this is one conscious officer of the law.

Wow, I was actually not thinking that was a real answer, because I figured real bills meant they could be spent. As far as I know, you can use a $2 bill, even though they are far out of print. But I suppose having a crisp $1000 bill is suspicious.

Well then, three. But basically an out-of-print bill.

$16 bill is bad enough, but New Of the Weird reported awhile back on someone who tried to pass off a $1 billion bill - created in blue ink on lined notebook paper!

Three dollar bills were never in print. The earlier example of 1000 dollar bills was in print in the past though.
