Counterfeit Money Spotted in Albany
Press release from the issuing company
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010
Check your money. Is it real? Albany Police say counterfeit bills are showing up all over town, especially in stores and restaurants.
And these are such good reproductions, they're not even being detected with counterfeit pens and markers.
These counterfeit bills pass those pen tests because they are real money. What these counterfeiters are doing is taking a real bill, like a $10 bill, and changing the amount number to make it look like a $100 bill. Police say businesses can't rely on those pens, they have to be on the lookout for this phony money.
