A man who was charged more than 23 quadrillion dollars on his credit card for a packet of cigarettes. Josh Muszynski checked his account a few hours after making the purchase at a Mobil petrol station and saw the incredible 17-digit number. He had been charged a total of $23,148,855,308,184,500 -twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred forty-eight trillion, eight hundred fifty-five billion, three hundred eight million, one hundred eighty-four thousand, five hundred dollars

He said he spent two hours on the phone with Bank of America trying to sort out the string of numbers and the overdraft charge. The bank corrected the error the next day.
