Fake money showing up in Eastern Iowa

October 7, 2005 By admin

Funny money has been showing up over the last week in eastern Iowa.Waterloo police have received several reports of local banks and stores receiving fake 100-dollar bills. The phony currency has also recently turned up in other Iowa cities and towns. The bills are apparently of very good quality and tests done with color-changing ink pens apparently won’t work to determine if the bills are real. Police say to determine if a bill is a fake, hold it up to the light and look for “U-S-A 100” in a tiny strip next to the portrait of Ben Franklin. The letters should be red and blue. If the text is yellow, the bill is a fake. Anyone with information on the fake bills should contact their local law enforcement agency.
