Well, you can still say he lost 25 ruples, because he could have sold 1000 caps that day and made a profit for all of them, it still does not matter in the fact that he got a 25 fake rupels bill and that this is lost money to him. Of course he still got a sale for one cap, but that is separate from the loss due to the fake money.
