Woman attempts to use counterfeit $10,000 bill at bank
Chris Spags The $10,000 bill is a bank note that hasn’t been printed since 1934. So a woman claiming she had one and bringing it to a bank in Massachusetts immediately raised some suspicions.
A risk management official at Enterprise Bank in Lowell, Mass. told UPI that it’s “really unlikely we would see [a $10,000 bill in Lowell. It raised red flags very quickly. It was an easy catch."
The official was unable to disclose what type of transaction the woman was trying to make with the forged bill.
There are only approximately 300 $10,000 bills left in America, most of which are in the hands of wealthy collectors.
It also probably tipped the bank off that the $10,000 bill was cloaked in Cheeto dust and had a picture of Daffy Duck on it. But hey, what do I know about risk management? Well, other than usually remembering to pull out. Now that's risk management we can all believe in.
