ATLANTA (AP) -- 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.

The United States Treasury does not make $1 million bills.

"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.

Did she expect the cashier to make change?

I am not sure if the woman is stupid or has some kind of disability.

Regardless, I can see why her husband is her x! haha

it's easy to make change with the new $100,000 bills... :P
