The Aiken County Sheriff's Office arrested an Augusta man who tried to open a bank account with a counterfeit $1,000,000 bill.
Alexander D. Smith is charged with disorderly conduct and forgery.
Investigators say Smith gave the counterfeit bill to a teller at Regions Bank in Clearwater, South Carolina. The employee refused to accept the bill and called the sheriff's office.
Officers say Smith also purchased several cartons of cigarettes with a stolen check over the weekend.
The largest denomination of currency ever printed is the $100,000 bill. The bill was printed back in the 1930s.
