Florida law enforcement is reporting counterfeit "funny" money that’s used in movies is circulating in Monroe County.
According to MCSO, "The $100 bills are marked as fake, stating they are to be used only in making motion pictures, but they may look accurate at a casual glance." And they have been found most notably the Lower Keys and Key West.
Key West Police Department issued a similar warning recently regarding fake $20 bills.
“Check your twenties! Some movie prop bills have made it into circulation! Though they’re marked ‘for motion picture purposed.’ They can fool you. Oh, and if Andrew Jackson has a smirk, that’s another clear giveaway!” the Key West Police Department wrote on Facebook.
The Key West police added that a local businessman had alerted the department of a fake bill “in his till” and requested that they issue a warning to the masses.
