One of the brightest women to walk this earth. I honestly can't think to anything to say about this one. Woman Tried to Pass Fake $1M Bill http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...ap/20040309/ap_on_re_us/million_dollar_bill_1 Tue Mar 9,10:40 AM ET COVINGTON, Ga. - A woman was caught trying to use a fake $1 million bill to buy $1,675 worth of merchandise at a Wal-Mart, and was later found with two more of the bills in her purse, police said. The United States Treasury does not make $1 million bills, but people can buy souvenirs of such a bill at some stores, police said. "It looks real, but of course there's nothing real about this," Covington Police Chief Stacey Cotton said Tuesday. "People do crazy things all the time. I think it's just another example of some odd things that occur." A clerk at the store 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 with only $2.32 of value on them to buy the merchandise, but when that didn't work she again asked if the clerk could cash the $1 million bill, Cotton said. The store then called police. Pike, of Porterdale, was charged with forgery. There was no listing for her phone number in directory assistance, and she could not be reached for comment Tuesday. Covington is 32 miles southeast of Atlanta. Got an excuse for double posting, Contributing Member??? \/ I thought it was and I looked for it but found nothing. Hmm.
Here's the thread it was already discussed in. http://bbs.clutchcity.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74386 2nd page, 4th post
It's funny that she asked to "cash" it...pretty much admitting it wasn't real currency. "No, seriously...this is like...a check for a million dollars...from the United States. See? Go ahead, cash it. I'll wait."
