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. "see? it says a million and stuff. Secretary of the Treasury is Donald Trump!" 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 48 packages of cough syrup alerted us....and the incandescent bulbs" The largest bill in circulation is $100. The government stopped making bills of up to $10,000 in 1969. with inflation.. 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 Check the bills when he posts bail. There's no $78,000 bill either Posted by: Frank G 2011-12-31 |
