Police in Uzbekistan arrested a group of people on suspicion of trying to sell a U.S. $1-million bill for half price. There is no such denomination.
The suspects told the potential buyer that they were prepared to sell the bill for $500,000 because they needed quick cash, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported.
It cited prosecutors in the Uzbek city of Samarkand.
The fake bill was made on a color printer, the report said.
