  KEEPING UP WITH THE U.S. TREASURY
  

  On March 11 the Associated Press published a story about
  a Georgia woman who claims she thought the $1 million bill
  she tried to pass was real.
  

  "A woman who tried to use a fake $1 million bill to buy
  $1,675 worth of merchandise at Wal-Mart said it was all just
  a misunderstanding - she thought the bill was real.
  

  "You can't keep up with the U.S. Treasury," said Alice Pike,
  speaking from jail.
  

  Pike, 35, was arrested last week at the Wal-Mart. The bill
  was a novelty item that can be bought at gag shops. "
  

  "Pike told police she got it from her estranged husband, who
  is a coin collector."
  

  To read the fully story, complete with images of the bill
  (and the woman's mug shot), see: Story with Picture
  

  Len Augsberger was the first E-Sylum reader to report
  the story - here's another online version: Version 2
