Have you never seen the movie with Gregory Peck?
Anyway, what I don't quite understand: why can't the buyer just take that note to a bank (perhaps the one who issued it) and tell them - "please put this into my account"?

Apparently the Bank of England have some huge denomination notes for internal use only.

These Million Pounds notes were issued after WW2 had ended as part of the US instigated 'Marshall Plan'.
