Ever try putting $50,000 in your front pocket?
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The counterfeit money looked good, but there was one flaw. There's no such thing as a one billion dollar bill.
U.S. Customs agents in California said on Tuesday they had found 250 bogus billion dollar bills while investigating a man charged with currency smuggling.
Tekle Zigetta, 45, pleaded guilty to three federal counts of trying to bring cash, phony bills and a fake $100,000 gold certificate into the United States in January.
Further investigation led agents to a West Hollywood apartment where they found the stash of yellowing and wrinkled one billion dollar bills with an issue date of 1934 and bearing a picture of President Grover Cleveland.
"You would think the $1 billion denomination would be a giveaway that these notes are fake, but some people are still taken in," said James Todak, a secret services agent involved in the probe.
This is NOT the bill the guy had printed:

$100 is the biggest bill they make now. All the older bigger bills are out of circulation.
I have got to ask, but why on earth would you need to try and put $50,000 in your pocket. I mean I have put 5 or 6 G's to bye a car or something but 50 G's
Who's going to have change for a billion?
I was thinking the same thing.... would you prefer your change in million dollar bills or will $100K's work for you???
100k was the largest bill ever printed in 1934
Those would be perfect for strip joints, the girls would be really impressed.

Sounds like an eBay scam to me. :idea:
