AIKEN, S.C. - A bank teller in Clearwater had a million reasons not to open an account for an Augusta, Ga., man Monday, authorities said. Alexander D. Smith, 31, was charged with disorderly conduct and two counts of forgery after he walked into the bank and tried to open an account by depositing a fake $1 million bill, said Aiken County Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Michael Frank.

The employee refused to open the account and called police while the man started to curse at bank workers, Frank said.

The second forgery charge came after investigators learned Smith bought several cartons of cigarettes from a nearby grocery store with a stolen check, Frank said.

The federal government has never printed a million-dollar bill, Frank said.

Of course that's a forgery. It looks nothing like the real ones I have locked away for retirement.

ROFL. What a moran.

I like that someone actually put marks on it to see if it was real or not.

i figured this would've been a gag gone wrong but no the guy legitimately expected someone to open an account based on a million dollar bill

Reminds me of this story, only it had a happy ending.

LOL @ Salmon P. Chase on 10K. We apparently ran out of presidents.

Also, I'm a better counterfeiter than the guy in the OP.
