Moab City Police Officers responded to a local business on a report of counterfeit currency. The manager advised that a male and female subject presented two $100.00 bills as payment for items purchased on the evening of October 29, 2017. Unfortunately, the clerk did not realize that the bills were counterfeit.

The currency is clearly printed on paper, both bear the same serial number and both have hot pink Chinese symbols imprinted upon them, the holographic strip was not authentic.

Moab City Police Officers do not know the identity of the individuals who passed the counterfeit currency and are sharing this as an advisory to all local businesses in the surrounding counties. Please instruct your employees to test any large bills for authenticity prior to accepting them for payment. Several companies make counterfeit detection markers that can be used to detect whether or not currency is authentic.

Any questions please call your local law enforcement officials.
