No fault of Art's but the article had a mistake. In one place it says "15 years" and in the next it says "15 months". Also, there is not a copier in this story.

Here's the story as reported by the Charleston Daily Mail:

Man gets 15 months for counterfeit money

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A St. Albans man who pleaded guilty to passing counterfeit cash will spend a little more than a year in federal prison.

He was arrested Jan. 18, 2010 at a local motel. Erwin had counterfeit cash in his possession when police arrested him. Items used to make counterfeit money were found in the room.
