With the Holiday Season upon us, we would like to remind area businesses of the importance of checking all currency that is presented to them. Over the last week, the Price City Police Department has taken numerous reports on counterfeit currency that has been passed at several local businesses.

The counterfeit bills being passed are in denominations ranging from $1 bills, $5 Bills, $10 Bills, $20 Bills, and $50 bills. The counterfeit bills are easily identifiable as there are certain security indicators that are missing but they are being passed at times when stores are busy and/or the clerks are distracted. Please take a moment to view the attached images with information regarding the security measures put in place by the U.S. Secret Service on all U.S. Currency.

We would ask all area businesses, as well as the public in general, to be vigilante in checking any U.S. Currency that is presented to you. If there are any suspicions or concerns, please contact the Price City Police Department at 435-636-3190, Price Public Safety Dispatch at 435-637-0890, or your local law enforcement agency to report it.

We are also looking for any information on the person or persons who have been passing the counterfeit bills in Price City as there are currently several active cases. If anyone has information regarding the person or persons responsible, please contact the Price City Police Department.
