streetblader51 - I suppose you talk about the scammers and for the guy in the link I had in my post ...





I think that that site's $1mil bills (in contrast with many other bad looking ones around the net) are of rather good quality fake bills .





Might be fun to see the reaction of a barwoman if you try to pay with one of those in a club or something :p





Just picture it in your head ...

you give her the bill ...
she goes to the till ...
looks down at the bill ...
and her eyes become the size of a gerbil

(not that gerbils are big , but it did make a rhyme)

Ah Really AhaH How can anyone look at a bill that large of an amount and not even begin to think........ Is it a fake ?
I know I sure would



"You would think the $1 billion denomination would be a giveaway that these notes are fake, but some people are still taken in,"

So, is that site actually trying to sell them to scam people, or just as a prank type of thing...?

 

[Earthian]

avrael - no mate , that site is irrelevent with the scammers with the billion dollar bills and he is not trying to scam people .



He just made a (rather good imo) fake $1mil bill and he is selling it as a novelty (or as medium to give your number to a babe in a bar as he promotes lol)

Maybe hes been watching too much of the simpsons. They had an episode where mr Burns had a 1 billion dollar bill if I remember correctly.

It was actually a trillion dollar bill, and I think Fidel Castro stole it from him! Good episode.

 

[Earthian]

has anyone seen a real $100,000 bill ? They were issued in 1934 and discontinued in 1940 (they are illegal to own now)





large denomination dollar bills (from wikipedia)





must read ...
the fake denominations right underneath the first section
and the Alice Regina Pike story . There is a link (named "Fake Million Dollar Bill ") to the story from smokinggun at the bottom of that page





and yes studio606 it was a trillion dollar bill in the Simpsons' episode "The Trouble with Trillions" (reference in the same wiki article with a link to a short description , now how cool is that ?)
