NEWS: Excuse me, do you have change for $1'000'000?

Police say a North Carolina man insisted his million-dollar note was real when he was buying $476 worth of items at a Walmart.

Investigators told the Winston-Salem Journal that 53-year-old Michael Fuller tried to buy a vacuum cleaner, a microwave oven and other items. Store employees called police after his insistence that the bill was legit, and Fuller was arrested.

The largest bill in circulation is $100. The government stopped making bills of up to $10,000 in 1969.

Fuller was charged with attempting to obtain property by false pretense and uttering a forged instrument. He is in jail on a $17,500 bond, and it isn't clear if he has an attorney. He is scheduled to be in court Tuesday.

I'm really wondering what was going through this guy's head when he tried to pass off a million dollar bill as being real. Did he think they'd blindly give him $999'524 and put it in a plastic bag or something? hell the store almost certainly wold have anywhere near that kind of money in all of the registers combined.

Just goes to show you, if you are going to try and forge money, keep them to values that actually exist in single notes.
