King County sheriff warns of counterfeit bills

A Fall City grocery store fell victim to a man using a counterfeit $100 bill Tuesday, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office.



At a Fall City grocery store in the 4200 block of Preston Fall City Road Southeast, a store clerk said a man used a $100 bill to make a $32.03 purchase of gas, cigarettes and Laffy Taffy.

The man received $67.97 in change.

Later, upon closer examination, the bill said, “For motion picture copy money” across the front and “Motion Picture Use Only” across the back.

there were Chinese made $50 and $100 US Bills circulating in this area. I got one at a gas station that was wedged in a post. It has Chinese writing across it other than that it looked like regular money without the special features to prevent counterfeiting I gave it to the cashier and told him were I found it. I thought it was a protest stunt of some kind since I was in a College town. I didn't know what it was about until I got home and Googled it. It supposedly is used by Chinese Banks for training purposes?
