If that’s true, isn’t that considered counterfeit and thus federal prison?

Probably fraud? It's movie prop money, which is distinguishable as not real. I would be surprised if a homeless person wouldn't realize themselves.

Which fortunately, has zero bearing on whether or not he just admitted to felony counterfeiting.

It kind of does. If he is buying these and giving them out he's an ass but no one is going to her arrested for giving them away. The only problem would be if someone tried to spend it and got belligerent when the store wouldn't take it.

You could photocopy that as many times as you want and it is still Iitterally play money.

Depends on how much money he has.
