You'd get looked at funny for trying to pass an old $20 (redesigned, out of print since '91), $2 (replaced with coin, out of print since '96), or $1 bill (replaced with coin, out of print since 1987).

The old $5 (replaced with a new design that includes a gold "hologram" type thing shaped like some maple leaves introduced 2002) and $10 (same deal as the 5's, but a year earlier) are still fair game (and cause havoc at places that have change machines. They shut down the machine when I was in highschool for the whole year for having ~ $100 worth of fake 10's in it)

Actually the 2000 lei solar eclipse limited edition bill is the coolest bill I have ever seen. Not because of its buying power since its value is 10 cents but because it promotes space science on top of politcs and also looks cool.

And BTW, the country is called Romania not "Rumania". Romania has a lot more to do with the Romans then it has to do with rum.
