$1 Miilion Bill Leads to Arrest
Quote:
COVINGTON, Georgia (AP) -- A Georgia woman who tried to use a fake $1 million bill to buy $1,675 worth of merchandise at Wal-Mart was arrested, and police later found two more of the bills in her purse.
The U.S. Treasury does not make $1 million bills, but similar-looking currency is sold in some souvenir shops. The fake bill featured a picture of the Statue of Liberty, police said.
"It looks real, but of course there's nothing real about this," said Stacey Cotton, police chief in Covington, about 30 miles southeast of Atlanta. "People do crazy things all the time."
A store clerk immediately noticed the bill was fake when 35-year-old Alice Regina Pike handed it to her on Friday, Cotton said.
Pike then tried to use two gift cards worth only $2.32 to buy the merchandise, but when that did not work she again asked to cash the $1 million bill, Cotton said. The store then called police.
Pike was jailed on forgery charges. A woman who answered the phone at the jail said she did not know if Pike has a lawyer.

Lol, only in Georgia would someone try that. 
Actually I'm surprised, being that it's a Wal Mart and all, you'd think a Georgia Wal Mart would've accepted it without any question. 
Just joking, I'm not dissing Georgians.  |

Re: $1 Miilion Bill Leads to Arrest
Well, considering the cashier had to ask the store manager first (the version of this same news story I read said that the cashier had to ask the store manager first)...you may assume that the cashier doesn't know what the hell is going on. |

Re: $1 Miilion Bill Leads to Arrest
A couple years ago at a Hardee's near where I live, a guy came in and paid for a 5 dollar (or something like that) with a 200 dollar bill. The only thing was, the cashier was dumb enough to give him his change.
I dont know if they ever caught the guy or not.
