How about a $4 bill honoring Favre?
How many of you have seen the above image floating around on the Internet? I hadn't until frequent reader Dan DeBroux sent it to Press-Gazette editorial cartoonist Joe Heller, who passed it along to me.
The mock $4 bill honors none other than Packers quarterback Brett Favre, with a photo that appears to be from his earlier playing days with the team. Across the top of the bill are the words "The Bears Still Suck" and a Packers helmet and Lambeau Field insignia also are on the bill.
The reader who passed it along wasn't sure where the image came from, and a quick search of the Internet didn't yield anything. One thought, in noticing the bill's Series date, which is 1996, that is it started circulating during the Super Bowl years.
If you've got any insight on where the bill originated, I'd like to hear from you. E-mail me at jriebe@greenbaypressgazette.com or leave your comments on this post.

Isn't that Lambeau Logo fairly recent?

That's at least 5 years old -- been around a long time.

Right but it was after the super bowl years as the story suggests.

How about a cashier's check made available to the public bearing the number #31 for our favorite player Alshinard "Al" Harris? Sincerely Earl and Annette Jordan.

I think it would make for great circulation in "Fun Money", maybe adding the date of 093007, as the serieal number.
