Police say a North Carolina man insisted he could pay for his vacuum cleaner and microwave oven with a $1-million bill.
The Winston-Salem Journal reports that Michael Anthony Fuller, 53, tried to pay his $476 bill at the Walmart in Lexington, N.C., with a cool million on Nov. 17.
He insisted the bill was real, but staff called police. In a warrant for Muller, cops said of the bill: "There is no such thing."
The largest bill in circulation in the U.S. is $100. There has never been a $1-million bill. In 1969, federal officials discontinued the use of $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 bills.
Cops later nabbed Fuller and charged him with attempting to obtain property by false pretence and uttering a forged instrument. He's due in court Tuesday.
