What are they printed on? Cigarette paper or zugarani tught? ========= http://edition.cnn.com/2004/US/South/03/09....dollar.bill.ap $1 million bill leads to arrest Wednesday, March 10, 2004 Posted: 1029 GMT (1829 HKT) Alice Regina Pike faces forgery charges. COVINGTON, Georgia (AP) -- A Georgia woman who tried to use a fake $1 million bill to buy $1,675 worth of merchandise at Wal-Mart was arrested, and police later found two more of the bills in her purse. The U.S. Treasury does not make $1 million bills, but similar-looking currency is sold in some souvenir shops. The fake bill featured a picture of the Statue of Liberty, police said. "It looks real, but of course there's nothing real about this," said Stacey Cotton, police chief in Covington, about 30 miles southeast of Atlanta. "People do crazy things all the time." A store clerk 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 worth only $2.32 to buy the merchandise, but when that did not work she again asked to cash the $1 million bill, Cotton said. The store then called police. Pike was jailed on forgery charges. A woman who answered the phone at the jail said she did not know if Pike has a lawyer. xe.com Universal Currency Converter ® Results http://www.xe.com/ucc/ The World's Favorite Currency Tool xe.com Universal Currency Converter ® Results Live mid-market rates as of 2004.03.10 16:15:57 GMT. 1.00 USD United States Dollars= 1,319,909.64 TRL Turkey Liras 1 USD = 1,319,909.64 TRL 1 TRL = 0.000000757628 USD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
