Well at least since 1969, the $100 bill is the largest note in circulation. But what if you were a cashier and someone handed you a 1 million dollar bill? Well, almost like a real one and kindly asked you to give him a change. I'm not sure about your reaction, but the employee of the Giant Eagle supermarket in Pittsburgh refused to accept it. The manager went even further and confiscated the bogus bill. The man flew into a rage. According to police, the man slammed an electronic funds-transfer machine into the counter and reached for a scanner gun.
The 1 million dollar note owner was not carrying identification and has refused to give his name to authorities. Police arrested him, who is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.
Police believe the 1 million dollar note seized at the supermarket may have originated at a Dallas-based ministry. Last year, the ministry distributed thousands of religious pamphlets with a picture of President Grover Cleveland on a $1 million bill.
