Is that less or more punishable than aggravated assault of a regular citizen? Asking for a friend.
and aggravated battery of a merchant.

That depends on whether or not the merchant is a member of a minority group.

I think I had a fake $1.00 bill at one time in the 1990s. Didn't feel right, vending machines didn't accept it, but I eventually spent it.

On that Banko Brown case (where a shoplifter at Walgreen's was killed by a security guard) both the thief and the security man were Black. Maybe the thief got extra points for being trans.

Oh absolutely! Trans victim points raised her status.
One could claim even more victim points because Banko was in fact a woman pretending to be a man, but then one would have to give up the trans victim points.

I feel like getting a stamp that will allow me to stamp "copy" on a bill now and use them at self checkout.

If the printing is only on one side, does that mean it's only worth half as much?

I need to do a practical joke now. I'm going to take two $100 bills, cut out a piece of cardboard that size of a US dollar, and then glue the two $100 bills to it on each side, just to see what the cashier does :)
I'm recognized and well known at my local grocery store and it would be fun to to it to hand off something that seems REALLY fake, that isn't. There's a risk, maybe they'll accept "the bill", and I'm out $100.

More productive to get a stamp that says FJB or Trump won.

CHICAGO — Forgery charges have been filed against a Chicago man who allegedly passed fake $100 bills at a Logan Square grocery store, including one with the word “COPY” printed on it.
Antoine Lee was arrested last weekend after scuffling and biting a store manager who confronted him about the fake bills at Rico Fresh Market, 3552 West Armitage, Assistant State’s Attorney Alexander Konetzki said during Lee’s bail hearing.
He said Lee gathered a few items and paid for them with a bogus $100 bill, receiving $72 in real money as change. Lee proceeded to the store’s restaurant area, where he presented another fake C-note and received $65 in change, according to Konetzki.
Both cashiers thought the bills were fake, and the manager stopped Lee as he headed out the door around noon on Sunday, May 21.
Konetzki said a “scuffle” ensued. Lee BIT THE MANAGER'S ARM, breaking the skin, but he failed to escape before the police arrived.
Chicago police determined the bills were fake, partly because they both had the same serial number and one bore the word “COPY.” (Chicago cops are right on top of things)
He’s charged with forgery and aggravated battery of a merchant.
Lee has six felony convictions, all for narcotics-related charges, Konetzki said. He also has outstanding felony warrants in Kane and Boone counties for aggravated battery by strangulation and credit card fraud, respectively.
Judge Barbara Dawkins ordered him to pay a $15,000 bail deposit to be released on the warrants and another $500 for the new case.
His defense attorney said he is raising seven children and works for a security company.
Believe it or not, people have passed fake hundreds bearing the word “COPY” all over the country.
In February, two phony $100 bills bearing identical serial numbers and the word “COPY” were passed in Clear Lake, Wisconsin. That’s about an hour east of Minneapolis. Similar bills were found circulating late last year near the Canadian border in Norwood, New York.
Someone passed movie prop money, marked “COPY” and “For Motion Picture Use Only” near Cleveland in 2018. A version of the same bills popped up in Vermont.

Maybe the Democrats could pass a law mandating that "FAKE" should be used instead of "COPY?" Just sayin.
