AIKEN, S.C. - A bank teller had a million reasons to deny this transaction.

Police say a man tried to open an account with a $1 million bill, which does not exist. The teller refused and called police while the man started to curse at bank workers, said Aiken County Sheriff's spokesman Lt. Michael Frank.

Alexander D. Smith, 31, of Augusta, Ga., was charged with disorderly conduct and two counts of forgery, Frank said.

The second forgery charge came after investigators learned Smith bought several cartons of cigarettes from a nearby grocery store with a stolen check, Frank said.

Smith has a bail hearing scheduled Wednesday, but Deputy Angela Shunn of the Aiken County Detention Center did not know if he had an attorney. An off-hours call to the public defender's office went unanswered.

It's a good things there's no rule saying that you have to be smart to be a criminal. I mean seriously... when was the last time anybody saw a bill larger than $100? It's been years since they made even a $1,000 bill. :stupid:

I like the pen marks on the bill, just making sure it isn't a real million dollar bill. :roflol:

Yeah, look how crinkled it is.
