Yup, Sonicz, If you are going to resurrect a thread at least try and make it one where the link is valid.
Haha. I noticed the link, I really wanted to see what it looks like. damn CNN Edit: Lol, I got an infraction for this, which expires september.
I think this is a summary of the article: CNN is reporting that a Georgia woman tried to use a fake $1 million bill to buy $1,675 of merchandise at a Wal-Mart. She apparently did not anticipate the difficulty the store might have producing $998,325 in change, not to mention the logistics of toting that much cash home. A note of irony: The bill that sent this woman to jail for forgery featured a picture of the Statue of Liberty. Clinton, Ford, or perhaps Hoover, would have been better choices.
Here's the actual transcript from CNN: O'BRIEN: Have you guys heard the story -- this Georgia woman tried to use her millions to buy $1,600 worth of stuff at Wal-Mart. One little problem, though. Her millions were in the form of three $1 million bills. HEMMER: Get out. O'BRIEN: Well, the U.S. Treasury has made bills the size of $100,000 dollars before but it's been 35 years since they made a bill worth more than $100 bucks. But the woman insisted on using her $1 million dollar bill that was a fake. Finally, the Wal-Mart employee called police. The woman was jailed on forgery charges. HEMMER: You mean they didn't fall for that? SERWER: The Statue of Liberty gave it away? O'BRIEN: Nine hundred thousand dollars back in cash? SERWER: In change, right.
