Chicago Gets Googled
A Munster, Indiana woman attempted to deposit $2,000 in cash yesterday, but the bank called her and asked her to take her money back because she had deposited two $1,000 bills. The rare but legitimate bills are from 1934 and are each worth around $4,500.
Grover Cleveland is on one version $1,000 bill, and Alexander Hamilton is on the other. James Madison is on the $5,000, Salmon P. Chase, subject of my very own seventh grade report (holla, impeachment of Andrew Johnson), is on the $10,000, and Woodrow Wilson is on the $100,000 Gold Certificate. [AP]

I see not every body in Munster, Indiana spent all thier money at the Taste of Chicago. Well now she has an extra 2,500 to spend at the river boat this weekend!
I like that her $1,000 bills are worth $4,500. Somehow that's funny and awesome.
This is something my greatgrandmother would do.
Who wants to bet this woman is over 70?
so, they were just being nice and letting her know she had more than she realized? that's so un-bank like.
i figured they would have just deposited them. money's money, right?
I had a family member who had hundreds of dollars of rare coins saved up. Shortly before he died, he took them to the bank to change them in. Of course, the bank only gave him face value for his ultra-rare coin collection. They saw nothing wrong with taking rare coins from a senile man and giving him (literally, pun intended) pennies on the dollar for them.
Who's gonna break that bill if the bank won't even take it?
