DARE COUNTY, Va. (WAVY) — The Dare County Sheriff’s Office is warning residents after several businesses in the Outer Banks received counterfeit bills.
Officials say three different businesses in Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head received counterfeit $50 bills.
The bills look to be on high-quality paper but appear to have been washed and all with the same serial number.
Officials say that in one instance, it seems a $1 bill was turned into a $50 bill. They say that if you use a money marker pen on it, it will show up as a real bill.
Officials urge residents to contact local law enforcement if they suspect a bill to be counterfeit.
