Did You Come Upon a $100 Bill in Pocatello? It’s Probably Fake

Maybe it was a withdraw from a bank, or change given at the store. Either way, you'll want to take a second look.

Pocatello Police are currently investigating $100 bills that are being circulated throughout the city. They've already been discovered at more than one local business. Luckily, they're easy to spot.

The bills are a novelty item from China, which look eerily similar to a U.S. $100 bill, except that they have pink characters written in Chinese on the back.

Know that it's a big no-no to try to pass off counterfeit money as real. If you run into one such bill, do NOT attempt to spend it anywhere. Instead, contact the police.
