Million Dollar Losers

You know, I make fun of the ol' spam so much, sometimes you have to remember that every now and then someone gets a boo-hoo email from some Nigerian banker and actually sends along the money.

Now it seems that 8 people in Japan bought into a scam that would have given them (fake - duh) $1 million bills. It's hard to believe that in this day and age people still fork over money for the promise of MORE money...but they do.

The truly fascinating part of the article is that in 1934-35, the USA treasury actually did produce a $100,00 bill. (Techincally it was a gold certificate and wasn't circulated to the public, but it was still legal tender.)
