Do You Have Change For A Million?

OK so two women form Tennessee were caught at a local dollar store trying to use a counterfeit bill…a $1 million dollar bill…39-year-old Amanda McCormick reportedly told the deputy that she received the bill in the mail from a church but could not provide any information regarding the church.

She said she was going to use the money to purchase items for care packages for homeless individuals,” The woman had “a shopping cart full of various items from inside the store, including several gift cards to various businesses.”

The women were not charged and and the deputy issued a verbal no trespass warning for the store to both McCormick and Johnson. The $1 million bill was seized as evidence.

There is no $1 million dollar bill in us currency…and lucky for them they were able to make it home safe and sound after that incident.
