An Honest bankDon't think my bank would have been so kind. They'd probably make up some kind of "thousand dollar bill" processing fee too

MUNSTER | An American Savings Bank patron deposited two crisp $1,000 bills into her bank account Wednesday, a transaction that paid off handsomely.

The Times chose not to identify the person for security purposes.

About 9:30 a.m., the woman stepped to the teller window at American Savings Bank to make a $2,000 deposit with the two bills, bank employee Mary Ann Vlasich said.

"I thought, 'She's going to need more because there is not nearly enough here for $2,000,'" said Vlasich, who believed the bills were hundreds.

4500 is most likely a bit too high but they are well over face value --at least doubleface I would guess -- nice story both of the bank alerting the patron and the paper for protecting the the persons name.
