It was funny money, cops said, but no one was laughing. A man was arrested after he allegedly passed some counterfeit bills at a TriBeCa hot spot.

[A man], 31, ordered a drink in the club at Varick and Spring streets at about 3:30 a.m. Jan. 8.

He passed a phony $100 bill to a worker to pay for the drink, cops said.

But the bill was of such poor quality that the worker was immediately suspicious and called police, sources said.

Cops said they recovered 10 more bogus Benjamins from [the man], who was charged with possession of a forged instrument.
