And finally… fake news

Police are searching for a man who allegedly attempted to open a bank account with a ‘$1 million’ bill.

Staff at a Pinnacle Bank branch in Lincoln, Nebraska, said he presented the bill to a teller and claimed it was real despite employees telling him no such bill exists, the Lincoln Journal-Star reports.

Investigators want to determine whether the man is himself the victim of a crime.

The largest bill ever printed for public circulation in the US is the $10,000 bill.
