Fake Million Dollar Bill Lands Man In Jail
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office arrested an Augusta man who tried to open a bank account with a counterfeit $1,000,000 bill. Alexander D. Smith is charged with disorderly conduct and forgery. Investigators say Smith gave the counterfeit bill to a teller at Regions Bank in Clearwater, South Carolina. The employee refused to accept the bill and called the sheriff's office. Officers say Smith also purchased several cartons of cigarettes with a stolen check over the weekend. The largest denomination of currency ever printed is the $100,000 bill. The bill was printed back in the 1930s. Thursday, Apr 24 at 8:30 PM Hayley wrote ...wow bery very sad. who in the right mind would go to a bank and think the person would accept a bill like that.

People making fake currency often put a fake color that looks like a currency pen mark in hopes that someone will think "Oh, this bill has already been tested."

Etymologically it's just as legitimate as 'cheque,' but on any other grounds the rest-of-world spelling is clearer. Sort of a metric system situation.
