NH man charged 23 quadrillion dollars for smokes

MANCHESTER, N.H. ? A New Hampshire man says he swiped his debit card at
a gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes and was charged over 23
quadrillion dollars. Josh Muszynski checked his account online a few
hours later and saw the 17-digit number ? a stunning
$23,148,855,308,184,500 (twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred

eight million, one hundred eighty-four thousand, five hundred dollars).

Muszynski says he spent two hours on the phone with Bank of America
trying to sort out the string of numbers and the $15 overdraft fee.*

The bank corrected the error the next day.

Bank of America tells WMUR-TV only the card issuer, Visa, could answer
questions. Visa, in turn, referred questions to the bank.

$23,148,855,308,184,500...
