Hate to out geek you but I think the answer is 0.002 not 1.002.
e^iπ does equal -1 but the answer to the series is 1 not 2. It would be 2 if the lower limit was 0 (series starts with 1/2^0 = 1) but the lower limit is 1 (series starts with 1/2^1 = 1/2).
So it is a check that, if the bank took the effort to calculate would be rejected for being a fractional cent.
