TOWER- The Breitung Police Department has received reports of numerous fake $100 bills being circulated and used in various locations in the Tower/Soudan area.
“Please be vigilant, the bills do appear real,” said police chief Dan Reing. “If any of our area business locations suspect a fake bill is used, please notify our office.”
Reing reported three fake $100 bills were discovered at Frandsen Bank in Tower, and one had been used at Zup’s Grocery. The counterfeits are rather well done, said Reing, though the paper quality is different, more paper-like, than real bills, and the color is a little off.
