The following is adapted from a press release from the Flagler County Sheriff's Office:
Flagler County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a Kangaroo Convenience Store on east State Road 100 Thursday in response to a report of fake money being used to make purchases.
Deputies said the store clerk spotted what appeared to be two fake $20 bills as she was counting a register drawer. The clerk tested the bills with a counterfeit detector pen and the money appeared to be fake.
The two bills laso had the same serial number, another indication that they were not genuine currency.
Additionally, a clerk at Wendy’s on Belle Terre Parkway recently reported what she thought were fake $100 bills. Deputies took possession of the bills, were later tested and determined to be genuine.
The FBI recently sent out a warning to merchants to be on the look out for counterfeit bills being circulated in the Orlando area.
Merchants who have believe they may have received counterfeit bills should contact the Sheriff’s Office at (386) 313-4911.
