$23 Quadrillion

A New Hampshire man who swiped his debit card for fuel and a pack of cigarettes at a gas station got far more than he had bargained for.

When Josh Muszynski checked his account a few hours later he couldn't help noticing a $23 quadrillion charge.

To be precise, it showed he had spent $23,148,855,308,184,500 at the Mobil station.

Bank of America also tacked on a $15 overdraft charge.

Muszynski spoke with the bank for a couple of hours and the error was corrected the next day.

"I thought somebody had bought Europe with my credit card," he said.
