Iowa police seize really bad bogus bills

DES MOINES, Iowa — Des Moines police said some counterfeit money showing up in the area isn’t just bad — it’s really bad. More than $6,000 in fake cash has been seized so far. Detectives on Thursday said some of the bogus bills contained printing errors never intended for circulation. The counterfeit money was made by bleaching $5 bills and printing $100 on the bleached paper. A weak image of Abraham Lincoln can been seen on a fake $100 that covered only half the sheet. A $100 bill had Ben Franklin on both sides.
