We disprove the coarse Novikov conjecture: ordinary coarse assembly need not be rationally injective for uniformly discrete spaces of bounded geometry. We construct a coarse disjoint union of finite graphs of uniformly bounded degree and an infinite-order class in its degree-one coarse K-homology whose image under ordinary coarse assembly in the K-theory of the reduced, locally compact Roe algebra vanishes.
