Man Tries To Pass $1M Bill; Jailed



Change for a million? 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.

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.

We have a guy that comes into my store about 3 times a year or so and passes out the million dollar bill to the cashier. It has religious writing all around the edges of the bill in fine print.. Things like, you are going to hell if you look at a woman in lust.. I'm suprised some idiot was stupid enough to either fall for it, or try to pass it off as a real bill..

hellrazor, i saw one of those here in canada. i was at the grocery store and this guy in front of me tried to give it to the cashier, he was smiling and obviously joking and the asian cashier was totally straight faced serious like no i can't take that. so the guy was like ok i'll pay with my card, you can just have the million for yourself. and she was like no i can't, still totally serious. right then a manager was walking by and he was like we can't take this, and he was all serious too. i was like wow nobody here has a sense of humour and i said i would take it. then when i got home and read the religious crap on it i was like damn i shouldn't have taken it either! according to them im going to hell like a million times over for every time i've looked at a hot girl.

It sounds like the guy was crazy, not because he tried to pass a fake bill off, but because he actually thought he had a 1,000,000 and it was just stolen.
