Average Trump voter reasoning.

Nothing says "real money" like a serial number of "GOLD999999999".

They were just twice as lucky to get the last one ofc.

So what is it? Yellow paper with trumps face on it? Where did they get it?

From a scammer :( their reasoning capabilities have been so affected by the last years of politics, that they don’t notice anymore what is a scam and what isn’t. And if this is a scam… maybe the rest might be a scam too? No, that’s taking it too far!

They probably bought it for $2000 and thought they were making a profit.

The thing about scamming the stupid is your story doesn't even have to make sense. It's fish in a barrel.

They probably hoped it would turn into a collectible? I would buy it for $1 for the laughs, but that's about it. It would make a great troll note for monopoly.
