USA currency denominations

[Jonathan Post]

"In the category of nearly-foolproof-scheme category, a man was arrested in
L.A. for counterfeiting after he was found with a stash of $1-billion
bills.  One clue that the currency was bogus: There ain't no such thing as a
billion-dollar bill."
["Only in L.A., Steve Harvey, Los Angeles Times, Sunday 17 Decemnber 2006,
p.B4]

Good thing that the criminal didn't check A124146.
