Alexander D. Smith, of Augusta, Georgia, has been charged with disorderly conduct and two counts of forgery after attempting to open a bank account with a fake $1 million bill. When the teller refused to open an account and called the police, the million dollar man started cursing at the bank employees.

Later, investigators learned Smith had bought several cartons of cigarettes from a nearby grocery store with a stolen check. Flushed with his success, he attempted to commit a similar crime the following day but, on this occasion, the store manager refused to accept the check.

Apparently, Smith isn't the only million dollar idiot; in Pittsburgh last month a man shopping at a grocery store tried to pass a $1 million bill to a cashier, but the employee also refused the bill and a manager confiscated the bogus bill. Just like Smith, this man also flew into a rage and was arrested.

They should have checked their history books first - the US Treasury have never issued a million dollar bill.
