Police in Uzbekistan arrested a group of suspected swindlers who tried to sell what they said was $1 million U.S. bill offering it at half price, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported Friday.
The suspects told a potential buyer they were prepared to sell the banknote for $500,000 in U.S. currency because they needed quick cash, the agency reported, citing prosecutors in the Uzbek city of Samarkand.
The fake bill was made on a color printer, the report said.
the going rate for a $1 million bill seems to be about
29 cents.
