Counterfeit $100 bill discovered by Dalton PoliceThe Dalton Police Department is investigating counterfeit $100 bills that were used at three local businesses.
Investigators warn the bills are very hard to spot because they are printed as a 1985 series bill, which comes without security features such as the transparent watermark that newer bills would have, police spokesman Bruce Frazier said.
The bills also pass a test with a counterfeit marker, indicating that they are printed on actual bills that have been washed out and reprinted as $100 bills.
“Each bill is very convincing,” Frazier said.
The bills last were used Thursday and Friday at Gondolier Pizza on Thornton Avenue, La Bendicion Pupuseria Salvadorena on Smith Industrial Boulevard and the Rite Aid Pharmacy at 1320 Glenwood Ave., Frazier said.
