Try To Deposit A $1 Million Dollar Bill

[Ron61]

This is really kind of overdoing it on the forgery stuff.

No sense being dumb unless you can prove it.

I still do not understand what species these "people" are. The human race was once renowned for intelligence, so I really think that there are 2 different species claiming to be Human.

Ron - not forgery, simply purchased - the $1 mill bills are still available:

Didn't we already have the Darwin check for the year?

Why are the new candidates trying out for next year already?

Ray,

I got to looking in my desk drawer after I read your link and I have a $1 million dollar bill but it looks different than those do. I also have $8 dollar bills and $3 dollar bills. But I wouldn't try to deposit them in a bank or spend them unless I was buying something from Warren. Of course Frenchy would probably take them.

Give the guy a break, he wasn't that stupid. If he was a real idiot, he would have tried to pay for the carton of cigarettes with the million dollar bill. Could you imagine the cashier trying to figure out the change for that transaction?

Wasn't there a lady a couple of years ago that tried to pass a $1,000,000 bill at Walmart?

Ron - although these bills (Gold Certificates) were discontinued in 1940, you may want to re-check your desk drawer to see if you have one.

Ray,

I wish I did have some of the old gold certificates. All I have are some $1 dollar ones I think and a couple of mint $10 dollar gold pieces. And I was wrong, my $1 million dollar bill does look like those, it just isn't crumpled up. Man, he must be stupid to try and pass something like that in a bank. Take it to Arkansas or Alabama where they would take them in the stores.
Kind of like the old joke about the drunken counterfeiters. They made a bunch of what they thought were $20 dollar bills but when they sobered up they realized they were $12 dollar bills. Not wanting to waste all that time they took them to Arkansas and one guy took one into a little store to see if he could get change for it. He came back out all smiles as they had not even questioned it but gave him two $3 dollar bills and a $6 dollar bill for it.

I would love to get my hands on one of those. My dad used to be a currency collector and he had a few Gold Notes that were worth a lot of cash.

[Ron61]

Joe,

I wish I had some of those too. Heck, I just wish I had a $100,000 dollars.

Yea me too. My dad at one time had at least 1 of each $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, and $500 Red seal note, Blue seal note, Silver certificate,and Gold Certificate. Some of them he had multiple. He also had a 3 $1,000 notes, but I am not sure which ones. All of the bills were in excellent condition. All of them he got at face value by going to old banks throughout the country in very rural areas. He would go in when they were not busy and speak with the manager. Then he would exchange a couple of thousand dollars for specific items he was looking for. He would ask them to go to the back of the vault and only give him the oldest items. Most of the old banks do not cycle money. He also had at least 1 bill of each denomination of Confederate money.

[Ron61]

That was quite an impressive collection. Maybe I should make a trip back through the South to some of the small farming towns and see if they have anything stashed away.

He had a lot more stuff too. Sometimes I really wish I knew what happened to it all, but I know a large part of it was stolen. He had a lot of coins too.
