Fake $100 Bills Making The Rounds

Provincial Police are once again warning the public of counterfeit money being used in the region.

The latest report of a fake $100 bill comes from a Fort Frances business.

OPP stress everyone should be vigilant when accepting paper currency.

Police says the money did not have a number of security features.

-The bills are thick paper not polymer;
-The translucent plastic on these bills is actually just tape;
-There are hash marks on the top right corner of the face side of the bill, or the corner may be just cut off;
-In most examples the maple leaf on the left side is not translucent, and is not a hologram.
