Counterfeit $100 bills are circulating Northeast Missouri and Central Illinois.
The Quincy Police Department shared they have been receiving and investigating reports of counterfeit $100 bills being passed within the city, as well as Missouri and other surrounding areas.
The bills pass the pen test when checked by the merchants. However, QPD officials say the paper will peel apart when checked.
Many of the counterfeit bills have the following serial numbers:
• HL62546631G
• HL62256314G
• HL62566311G
Anyone who finds or spots one of these fake bills is asked to contact the Quincy, Illinois Police Department.
