Another million dollar bill man, this time in South Carolina
Alexander D. Smith is the latest to try and put a fake one million
dollar bill in circulation.
Another million dollar bill man, this time in South Carolina Reading
the news could help you avoid serious trouble, but obviously Alexander
D. Smith from Aiken, South Carolina, failed to learn the lesson from
the Pittsburgh one million dollar bill man. According to the Aiken
County Sheriff's Office, Smith attempted to open a bank account at
Regions Bank in Clearwater, South Carolina with a counterfeit one
million dollar bill. As expected, the clerk did not accept the
substantial deposit and called the cops. Alexander D. Smith was
arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and forgery. This story
is quite similar to the Pittsburgh $1 million bill (read the full
story here), but while the Pittsburgh guy tried to unload the large
denomination at a grocery store, Smith tried to "sell sand to the
Arabs".
Currently in circulation the highest dollar bill is with a face value
of $100, although the largest denomination of currency ever printed
was the $100,000 Series 1934 Gold Certificate featuring the portrait
of President Wilson, but never released for public circulation, only
for official transactions between Federal Reserve Banks. Currency in
denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000 were pulled out of
distribution in 1969, however, these notes are legal tender and may
still be found in circulation today. According to the U.S. Treasury,
the most common "one million dollar bill" is a nonnegotiable platinum
certificates known as a "One Million Dollar Special Issue", originally
sold by a Canadian firm for $1.00 each as a collectible item and are
not redeemable.

WEIRD BUT TRUE
By DAVID K. LI, Wire Services
November 28, 2007 -- A doctor in Wisconsin was seeing double during a
24-hour weekend shift, when he delivered four sets of twins.
"I don't think I ever delivered two sets of twins on a call day," said
Dr. Kenneth Merkitch of Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center.
"It was hard to believe that everything was coming in twos, but after
a while, you're up all night, you might as well keep delivering
babies."
