    Woman arrested for trying to pass fake $1 million bill

    COVINGTON, Ga. (AP) A Georgia woman who tried to use a fake $1 million bill to buy $1,675 worth of merchandise at Wal-Mart was arrested, and police later found two more of the bills in her purse.
    The U.S. Treasury does not make $1 million bills, but similar-looking currency is sold in some souvenir shops. The fake bill featured a picture of the Statue of Liberty, police said.
    ''It looks real, but of course there's nothing real about this,'' said Stacey Cotton, police chief in Covington, about 30 miles southeast of Atlanta. ''People do crazy things all the time.''
    A store clerk immediately noticed the bill was fake when 35-year-old Alice Regina Pike handed it to her on Friday, Cotton said.
    Pike then tried to use two gift cards worth only $2.32 to buy the merchandise, but when that did not work she again asked to cash the $1 million bill, Cotton said. The store then called police.
    Pike was jailed on forgery charges. A woman who answered the phone at the jail said she did not know if Pike has a lawyer.

    COVINGTON, Ga. - A woman who tried to use a fake $1 million bill to buy $1,675 worth of merchandise at Wal-Mart said it was all just a misunderstanding — she thought the bill was real.

    “You can’t keep up with the U.S. Treasury,” said Alice Pike, speaking from jail.
    Pike, 35, was arrested last week at the Wal-Mart. The bill was a novelty item that can be bought at gag shops. The United States Treasury does not make $1 million bills.

    Alice Regina Pike, who tried to use the fake bill.
    Pike told police she got it from her estranged husband, who is a coin collector.
    Pike said she first tried to buy the merchandise with two Wal-Mart gift cards. But the cashier told her the cards only had a total value of $2.32. That’s when Pike says she pulled out the $1 million bill.
    “All I’ve got is this,” Pike said she told the cashier.
    “I wasn’t trying to pass off the bill,” she said. “That’s ridiculous.”
    A police report says Pike tried to pay for the items with the fake bill and even asked for change.
    Prosecutors must decide whether to prosecute Pike on charges of first-degree forgery.

    A not too bright counterfitter makes a batch of 18 dollar bills, not knowing what to do with the bad bills he askes his brother Darryl what should he do? Darryl suggest passing them in a small town, 'cause they ain't too smart in small towns. So off he goes into the nearest small town and finds the local drug store where he walks up the the manager and asks if he could change a 18 dollar bill, manager says sure, no problem...would you like 3 sixes or 2 nines?
