Another bank supposedly fired an employee because in 1963 he used a fake dime in a laundromat.

When I read such stories, two thoughts enter my mind.
1. What was the real motive behind the termination? Was this somebody the organization was seeking an excuse to get rid of? Was this an excuse to avoid severance pay? Unemployment comp?
2. This is reminiscent of some of the really stupid school cases in which kids were suspended for bringing some innocuous item or saying some silly thing in the school setting.
