The story

Secret Service agent Steve Buchanan and his boss discuss Case 880, which involves fake $1 bills, each with an obvious mistake: Washington is spelled "Wahsington". Although the bills are blatantly amateur in quality, people rarely look closely enough at the bills to notice. The Secret Service nicknames the perpetrator "Mister 880" and his counterfeit notes are called "880s".
