Excerpt: According to WREG Memphis, the incident occurred at a Dollar General store in Maryville, a suburb of Knoxville. The two women reportedly tried using the bill to pay for numerous gift cards, and, when confronted, they claimed they not to have known the bill was fraudulent.


An employee, however, easily identified $1 million as fake, according to UNILAD, because $1 million bills do not exist in U.S. currency. The employee reportedly called authorities around 10 a.m. to report the "suspicious incident."

Of the two women, 39-year-old Amanda McCormick is the suspect who appeared to originally be in possession of the fake bill. When officers questioned McCormick, she explained that she "received the one million dollar bill in the mail from a church." However, she "could not provide the church information."

...but imagining that the Dollar General is really going to make change for that?

You probably would have a hard time using a $50 or a $100!

What person with two brain cells to rub together tries to pass a fake $1,000,000 bill anywhere, let along at a Dollar General store?

8. Churches around here pass out fake million dollar bills with Bible verses on them.

They leave them in public places because, naturally, someone sees a bill that looks like money they will pick it up and look at it, then become infused with the Spirit after reading the Scripture.
