LEXINGTON, N.C. -  Got change for a million?

Michael Fuller is due in court Friday to answer charges he tried to pass a million-buck bill at a North Carolina Wal-Mart.

Of course, there's no such thing as a million-dollar bill. The largest U.S. bill currently in circulation is $100.

The government stopped issuing bills of up to 10-grand in 1969. Authorities in Davidson County charge Fuller tried to buy a vacuum cleaner, a microwave oven and other stuff.

Wal-Mart workers say he insisted the million-dollar greenback was the real thing.
