SAULT STE. MARIE, MI— The Sault Ste. Marie Police Department is urging residents to check their cash before they accept it from anyone.
Officers say they’ve had an increase in complaints about “entertainment money” being used as real currency in the area.
The notes are sold in all denominations. Some say “for motion picture use only,” and all have purple stripes down the center of the bills.
Anyone who receives fake money should notify law enforcement.
