Rob Buffaloe, the proprietor of BurgerRobs in Titusville, Florida, recently discovered that someone paid for their meal using a dollar bill signed by four of the five members of the STS-27 crew (Hoot Gibson, Mike Mullane Jerry Ross and Bill Shepherd). WESH2 News reports:
"We were counting out our banks for the evening, and as I'm sitting there doing my thing, it caught my eye," Buffaloe said. "I knew it wasn't the ordinary bill."
Buffaloe contacted the American Space Museum, where Mark Marquette helped him identify the signatures and mission. He is also helping the restaurant contact Guy Gardner to have him sign the bill and complete and crew.
I wonder if this has happened before, where someone took an autographed bill and entered it back into circulation...
