Million Dollar Bill

Abu Dhabi may be known for its billions, but for one teller, being asked to change not one, but two million dollar bills into smaller denominations:

A man has been arrested after a woman was tricked into trying to change two souvenir US$1 million notes at the UAE Central Bank. The 44-year-old suspect, AB, from Ivory Coast, convinced the woman that the notes were being used in currency markets and told her to exchange them in return for 30 per cent of their value, police sources said. The notes were, in fact, issued by the US-based World’s Millionaires Club as a souvenir for selected members and are sold at nominal prices. They do not have a value of US$1m.

Apparently the suspect is claiming that he actually believed that notes were real.
