The Million Pound Bank Note

The story takes place in Victorian London, where two very rich, eccentric brothers give the penniless story protagonist, Henry Adams, one million pounds of money in the form of a single peerless bank note.

He would also not be able to spend it since no ordinary person would be able to change it.
