Video: Itawamba County Businesses Report Fake Cash

ITAWAMBA COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) — Some funny money isn’t so funny to some Itawamba County residents and businesses.

Sheriff Chris Dickinson says some fake $5 and $10 bills have shown up at area businesses.

The counterfeit money appears to be homemade using basic copy paper, but the sheriff says it’s unclear where they were made.

In most of the cases, unsuspecting customers have gotten the bills from other businesses and then tried to use them to make purchases.

Investigators are encouraging residents and businesses alike to use marker pencils to check money and to pay attention to the paper quality.
