The American is arrested for an attempt to change denomination in $1 million

12 October 2007

Police of American city Pittsburgh has arrested a man who demanded from the cashier in a supermarket to change a note in one million dollars.

In the police have told that the man came with this suspicious note in supermarket Giant Eagle in the northern side of Pittsburgh on Sunday evening.

The cashier did not change it and called the manager of shop who has refused to return a note to the man as a forged one. In the answer the man started to behave violently.
He has broken the device for reading of bank cards and tried to take away from the cashier a pistol for reading of bar codes, told in police of Pittsburgh.

There are no legal notes of denomination in one million dollars. Since 1969 the largest American banknote in circulation is 100 dollars.

The policemen arrested the man and arraigned him in coinage offence and evil hooliganism.

The police check the version that this unfortunate denomination could be one of those pieces of paper which last year were distributed by the religious mission in Dallas in the advertising purposes.
