"A man who handed over a counterfeit million-dollar bill to a cashier at a Pittsburgh supermarket and asked for change has been arrested"

that's hilarious

fair over reaction though, he'd surely have been taking the piss?

I laughed though, but when you think about it......

He will have been arrested for criminal damage, not the forged bill. You can't forge a bill that doesn't exist.

As for investigating where it came from, I have a couple of hundred of them at home from a batch we used as a promotion, so I'd say there's plenty of sources.

The did charge him with forgery. Muppets.
And they said the bill came from a promotion by a Dallas religious ministry. WTF?
"Come join our cult and we'll give you a million dollars!"

If this bloke has any sense he'll sue that ministry saying they tricked him. Worked for the McDonalds bird...
