Check again.  You are wrong.   Passing a single counterfit currency bill
is at most a misdemeanor.  What you are refering to is the *making* of
counterfit currency, which is a felony.

Consider the possibility -- he works a bar.  The bar takes in a lot of
cash money and pays him in cash, including a single counterfit $20 bill.
Unaware, he uses that bill to buy cigarettes.  That scenario is more
plausible than thinking that he is out there making and spending
counterfit money, and then staying in the place where he passed such a
bill.  If he were knowingly passing counterfit currency, wouldn't he
have left the area?
