AIKEN, S.C. - A bank teller had a million reasons to deny this transaction.
Police say a man tried to open an account with a $1 million bill, which does not exist. The teller refused and called police while the man started to curse at bank workers, said Aiken County Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Michael Frank.
Alexander D. Smith, 31, of Augusta, Ga., was charged with disorderly conduct and two counts of forgery, Frank said.
The second forgery charge came after investigators learned Smith bought several cartons of cigarettes from a nearby grocery store with a stolen check, Frank said.
Smith has a bail hearing scheduled Wednesday, but Deputy Angela Shunn of the Aiken County Detention Center did not know if he had an attorney. An off-hours call to the public defender's office went unanswered.
Here's what the $1,000,000 bill "looks" llike.......

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.
Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,

Read about this as well. The level of stupidity is amazing!
Also, I seem to recall reading about some not so bright fellow who tried to pass 16$ bills?

Reminded me of Chester A. Arthur...
Hum...
Just did a quick search through on some Presidental photos.
I think it's Grover Cleveland.

Guy tried to pass me a $2 bill once when I was working at McDonalds. I swear that guy almost seemed to genuinely believe it was real. He was still calling ME an idiot when the cops dragged him off.

I needed a mod to change my signature because the concept of "family friendly" eludes me.
Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

Sometimes before gun shows, etc., I'll get a bundle of 2 dollar bills, and stamp 'em with my "NRA Money" stamp... Anything I buy in the area gets 'em...

Trying to pass a $1M bill? Jeez, I get grief when I try to use
real
money. Hand a teeny-bopper clerk one of the new dollar coins sometime and watch the reaction.
