FORT WORTH, Texas - Tellers at the Texas bank were immediately suspicious.
After all, it isn't every day someone walks in to cash a cheque with 10 zeros on it.
But police say 21-one-year-old Charles Ray Fuller of the Fort Worth suburb of Crowley tried to do just that.
Fuller now faces forgery and other charges after trying to cash a cheque for $360-billion last week.
Fuller, who was released after posting $3,750 bail, claims his girlfriend's mother gave him the cheque to start a record business, a claim the woman denies.
In addition to forgery, Fuller has been charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon and possessing marijuana.
Police say they found more than 50 grams of marijuana and a .25-calibre handgun and magazine in his pockets.
