Woman tries to pass $1 mill. bill at Wal-Mart

[Kooperman]

MARCH 9--Meet Alice Regina Pike. The 35-year-old Georgia woman must think Wal-Mart cashiers are rather dumb, because she actually just tried to pass a $1 million bill at one of the retail chain's megastores. According to this amusing Covington Police Department report, Pike was attempting to pay for $1671.55 in merchandise, but a Wal-Mart clerk called over her manager when she was handed the bogus bill (instead of handing over $998,328.45 in change). As first reported by Joey Peters of the Newton Citizen, Pike was arrested for forgery and booked into the sheriff's lockup, where the below mug shot was taken. Pike, who told cops that her husband had given her the $1 million bill, was found to have two more phony seven-figure notes in her purse. Perhaps she would have fared better with a $200 bill.

Wallmart seems to attract all the flakes and weirdos of the world.

In other news, today is the B-Day of paper money in the U.S.

Paper money was first issued in the United States on March 10, 1862, and became legal tender by an act of Congress seven days later. Today, collecting paper money from around the world (also known as banknotes) is gaining in popularity.

Talk to Alice Pike. She should be at the same new residence for a while and I believe she had two extra bills.
