Three Secret Service agents visited the Great News Network (http://www.thegreatnews.com/) offices about 1 p.m. asking staffer Tim Crawford if he was responsible for printing "the million-dollar bills."
Crawford suggested they talk to his boss, Darrel Rudus, the founder of the organization that trains evangelists from around the country in the techniques of witnessing their faith. By telephone, Rudus offered his opinion that it was impossible to counterfeit something that wasn't real – a $1 million bill.

I have seen the show before, pretty cool stuff, they teach on spreading the Gospel. I enjoy watching the videos of when they go out on the street and interview people, walking them through the Law, and to the Grace of God.

Dont they have bigger fish to fry? No wonder they have all the time in the world to plan and execute elaborate schemes on the public.

If the morons ever bring this to court, they'll be laughed out of the building. One would think they'd check the Treasury website before making dumb-ass moves like that.

What was the largest currency denomination ever produced?

The largest denomination of currency ever printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) was the $100,000 Series 1934 Gold Certificate featuring the portrait of President Wilson. These notes were printed from December 18, 1934 through January 9, 1935 and were issued by the Treasurer of the United States to Federal Reserve Banks only against an equal amount of gold bullion held by the Treasury Department. The notes were used only for official transactions between Federal Reserve Banks and were not circulated among the general public.Denominations (http://www.treasury.gov/education/faq/currency/denominations.shtml)

It's akin to threatening a person for forging the signature of Santa Claus.

On the plus side, maybe they'll read the tracts and be saved.

Hey! Cheer up, doggie!




HAHAHAHAHA! I can picture some store clerk calling the authorities on this one, telling them some clown wants to buy groceries, and the smallest he has is a million dollar bill.

I think it's sad.

Some idiots in Florida might try to use it to pay a hitman to whack their grandkids, in-laws, pets, and anyone else who might stand between them and, uh, um, whatever.

What a waste of taxpayers money!
Geez!
