Taney County Sheriff's Office Warns of Counterfeit Money

The Taney County Sheriff's office is asking people to beware counterfeit currency; a post from their Sheriff's office Facebook Page provides the details below.

The Taney County Sheriffs office has been made aware of the passing of counterfeit currency in the North Arkansas / Southern Missouri areas.

Some of these bills that have been passed to area businesses have Chinese writing on them. Some say "For Motion Picture Use" on the face. Others have Russian words printed on the face and back, while some of them do not have serial numbers on them.

Persons handling cash should examine these types of bills closely before accepting them. Any counterfeit bills that are inadvertently accepted or attempted to be used should be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
