What is another word for three-dollar bill?
Pronunciation: [θɹˈiːdˈɒlə bˈɪl] (IPA) 
The phrase "three-dollar bill" is often used to describe something that is fake, phony or fraudulent. There are, however, several other synonyms for this phrase. One such synonym is "phony as a nine-dollar bill," which implies that something is even more obviously fake. "Bogus" and "counterfeit" are also commonly used to describe something that is not genuine. "Hoax" and "fraud" are other synonyms that suggest an intentional effort to deceive. "Sham" and "pretend" suggest something that is not genuine but may not necessarily be meant to deceive. Whatever term is used, the implication is the same: that something is not what it appears to be, and should be viewed with skepticism.
