Police have taken reports of counterfeit $20 dollar bills being passed at residential garage sales on Friday 8/30/13.
Residents are being advised to look closer when accepting a $20 dollar bill. Look for:
-Inscribed Security Thread
-Discoloration of the bill from one side to another
-2 or more bills with the same serial number
-Uneven cuts around the bill
-Bill does not feel right
If you suspect a counterfeit bill, do not return it to the passer, delay the passer if possible and if it can be done safely, try to obtain a description of the passer and the vehicle being driven, and call law enforcement as soon as possible.
