Do you have change for a million-dollar bill?

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 in the US 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.

Erm he's just a tad stupid. Even if the cashier believed him and took the note, there surely wouldn't have been enough money in the till to give back any change. 0_o

Too bad they didn't show a picture of his 1$ million bill.

If only he had Chuck Norris' portrait on the front he might have gotten away with it.

(I realize the age of this thread) However, in passing, one should mention that the US actually prints $1000 bills, we simply do not see these as they are generally purely held for bank to bank transactions.

I should also mention that I know quite a few people who may very well believe the bill was legit.
