That's what a man was seeking Saturday when he handed a $1 million bill to a cashier at a Pittsburgh supermarket. But when the Giant Eagle employee refused and a manager confiscated the bogus bill, the man flew into a rage, police said. The man slammed an electronic funds-transfer machine into the counter and reached for a scanner gun, police said. Police arrested the man, who was not carrying identification and has refused to give his name to authorities. He is being held in the Allegheny County Jail. Since 1969, the $100 bill is the largest note in circulation. Police believe the $1 million note seized at the supermarket may have originated at a Dallas-based ministry. Last year, the ministry distributed thousands of religious pamphlets with a picture of President Grover Cleveland on a $1 million bill. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007...346223.shtml Report this Post to the Staff

There are still notes larger than $100 in circulation and they are still legal tender (although one would have to be an idiot to spend one at face value). 1969 is the last year that the Federal Reserve Banks issued notes larger than $100 for circulation.
