Counterfeit money spotted in Cherokee County

(From the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office)

Our office has received information that some area businesses have received fake / counterfeit money recently. 

We encourage employees at cash / retail businesses to check to make sure bills are legitimate and encourage consumers to be aware of the change they receive back. 

Counterfeit bills are usually in larger denominations, but could also include $20.00 bills. Fake money may be slightly altered, such as the Motion Picture Money pictured here.

Please contact our office at 620-429-3992 or your local police department if you encounter such bills.
