DES MOINES, Wash. -- If you're going to attempt to pass off some fake $100 bills, at least maybe check to see if the printed language matches the country where the bills originate.
Officers in Des Moines were called to a Safeway store Wednesday morning after store managers reported a woman trying to buy a $5,000 prepaid Visa card with $4,900 in counterfeit money.
Fortunately for the store managers, the counterfeiting was pretty easy to spot, what with bright pink Chinese characters on the left and all the bills having been given the same serial number.
"Although the counterfeit currency is of fair quality, there are markings on the bills making one realize the funds are not legit," said Sgt. Dave Mohr with Des Moines Police.
Police said they confiscated the money, but didn't say if they arrested the woman.
"The case will require further investigation," Mohr said.
