No. Urban legend. There ARE coins that are worth a million dollars or more, but you won't find them in change. They're things like an 1804 silver dollar, a 1913 Liberty Head nickel, an 1838-O half dollar, and so on. VERY unusual, and you're not likely to get one from the cashier at 7-11.

There are only 100 original 1838 dollars known and all were struck as proofs. Auction sales have been well in excess of $35,000. It's far more likely that you have either a restrike or an outright counterfeit. The market has been flooded with fake dollars, mostly from the Far East.
