Many years ago, Readers Digest sent out tiny bills that looked like a very miniature $10,000 bill. This was advertising one of their sweepstakes.
A friend of mine was working in a small town bank in Iowa at the time. She said a couple in their 50's came into the bank and actually tried depositing it in their account - and they were serious about it. They argued it was "legal tender" and they had every right to that $10,000!
Takes all kinds, doesn't it?
