I don't know what the letter designation would be, but as I sit here I have a $1,000,000 bill stuffed away in my desk drawer. Too bad it is one of those novelty bills! It looks and feels real. I carry it sometimes and try buy stuff with it. Allot of people look it over, and ask, "is it real?". Nobody ever has cash available to break it though! Greg
They paid the material costs and it took about 80 hours, so it came out better than a Wal-Mart greeter wage :-) Of course, if I knew what I was doing, it would have taken less than half the time.

Howdy,
I am sure that is fun...
I am also sure that the Treasury Department would not be amused. You are messing with the potential for serious trouble with that sort of seemingly innocent joke. Those Treasury folks are not a fun group.
All the best,

Note: those steel-engraved portraits of Grover Cleveland are _hard_ to come by.
A genuine "Grover Cleveland" is a _lot_ more valuable.
Ther was a lady in our area that tried to buy something and pay with a phony $1,000,000. The clerk, of course, refused it. The lady persisted! She is sitting in jail at this time because of it! I take it out from time to time, and when I get a funny smile from the clerk, I take it back. Never pushed the issue! Greg
Howdy,
Perhaps you never pushed the issue from your perspective, but...
One store keeper who got up on the wrong side of the bed could put you in real trouble...
All the best,
At a place I used to work, a woman brought her dipstick teenage daughter in for the day. The lunchroom had several vending machines and a $1/$5 bill changer. Dipstick took a $5 bill, made a photocopy, colored it in with a green magic marker, and ran it through the bill changer, getting 5 Susan B. Anthonys in return. When Mom realized the potential for serious charges, she informed the VP, who called the vending company. The vending company was more amused than pissed, and graciously settled for the return of the money and an apology without notifying the authorities.
Now I don't know about you, but if I'm designing sensors for a bill changer, the FIRST thing I would guard against is a dipstick with a magic marker.

Are there still $1,000 bills in Canada?
I wonder if that is urban legend. I don't think the government ever printed a $1,000,000. bill. I wonder how they could charge counterfeiting on something that never existed.

It was in our local paper, apparently the woman is a bit of a nut! Greg
There was at least one, 15 years ago. A quick Google search suggest the M note is the highest denomination Canuck bill in circulation.

Ah, let him play. When he gets picked up for trying to pass funny money, he'll learn. Apparently, a women got picked up for just that, trying to buy stuff with a $1,000,000 bill, a bit back. Heard it on the news. Dunno if she's till in the jug, or not.

LOL.. Yeah...
One time when I needed $6000 cash for a raffle, I had my bank get one for me. (Canadian $1000 dollar bill). Took them two days to order it in. It's got a bird on it, a Grosbeak if I remember. It was kind of neat, but I liked the stack of $100 dollar bills better. Told my friends I had 25 feet of money. (6" each). You'd think that $5000 cash laid end to end would be longer than that.
I had mine in 1994
