Million Dollar Bill – Everyone knows there’s no million dollar bill, but some smart citizens like to spend theirs at the Giant Eagle or Wal-Mart as these two recent arrest records show.
Here’s what the million dollar bill ($1,000,000 bill) looks like:
You can see that it’s closely modeled on the old US thousand dollar bill ($1000 bill)featuring President Grover Cleveland that was withdrawn back in 1969.
Here’s the Associate Press on the latest “rock scientist” incident Saturday:
Guess what happened when John Doe tried to pass a million dollar bill on Saturday at the Giant Eagle in Pittsburgh?
The man, who refused to give his name, freaked out before he was arrested, slamming the credit/debit machine into the counter and grabbing for a scanner gun before being subdued and taken to the Allegheny County Jail.
Police tell the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review they expect to identify the man by his fingerprints. The million dollar bill featured a portrait of Grover Cleveland.
It was phony, police said, noting that since 1969 the $100 bill has been the largest one in circulation.
Million dollar bills are for sale everywhere online. There’s fake US currency available from websites like eBay to prank gag gift sites to religious groups biblical tracts.
The Secret Service has actually harrassed several religious groups in the past year because their one million dollar bills that are printed on religious pamphets were being deposited into bank accounts.
I guess the “Are You Going To Hell?” message on the reverse side made them seem even more real than they already were…lol!
Of course, some honest citizens take theirs to Wal-Mart and ask for change from their big purchase, like Alice Pike did:
Alice Pike, 35, pulled out the note at a Georgia Wal-Mart store to pay for $1,672 worth of goods and asked for change, police said. The cashier immediately noticed the one million dollar bill – hers was the older style bearing the picture of the Statue of Liberty – was fake and called her manager who alerted the police.
No word on whether the cashier had $998,328 in her till available for making change…
And that’s the latest news on our intrepid Secret Service and their quest to keep us safe from the pesky million dollar bill.

First of all most of these people who have posted here are retarded …
“omg, i belive that these million dollars are not real ever since i found on eon the ground at my bus stop on the way to school, now i keep this as a sovineer.”
