Police in southern Idaho are looking for someone trying to pass phony $1 million bills.

Officers in Twin Falls said the counterfeits are high quality except for one big problem. The U.S. Treasury never issued a 1 million bill.

The largest domination bill ever produced was the $100,000 gold certificate issued in the mid 1930's. But it was only used for transactions between Federal Reserve Banks and never released for general circulation.

As for the phony $1 million note, police said it looks like it's based on a 1920s dollar bill. Police haven't made any busts yet in the funny money case.

Shame everyone can't be as smart as him!

I'd want one just to have.. but trying to spend it is totally different.. and totally stupid. :-D

lol, anything over 10k has to go through certain checks to ensure legitimacy anyways at the banks which are the only places that would even have enough to make 1 million in change...

Most banks will trade two dollars for a two dollar bill.

From the looks of your sig, I'd imagine you have a few 3-dollar bills lying around?

My girlfriend jokes around about how I lost a bet to her and she wants me to pay her in 3-dollar bills.

$100 bills are the largest you can get today, there are larger in circulation but not printed...funny how that article says "The largest domination bill ever produced"...
domination?..it should be denomination...

Do you think the producer of the bill acually got the money? Maybe he is on this forum. Im just kidden about how he might be on this forum but do you think he got any money out of it?

I have a $500 bill in my safe deposit box..got it in a car deal years back...they are worth like 25% more than their face value due to the rarity...they are pretty cool looking too!
