Let me see if I have this right: You gave your landlord currency to pay your rent. The currency was three $100 bills. The landlord used a photocopier to copy the currency in order to provide you with documentation that you had paid the rent. And so he has the money and you have a photocopied sheet showing images of three $100 bills.

Are you concerned that the "receipt" you got was incomplete in that it doesn't identify who received the money or for what purpose? Or are you hoping that because they made a photocopy of U.S. currency, maybe they're violating federal law regarding counterfeiting?
