Placer County Sheriff advises citizens and business owners to always check paper money closely — “if the bill does not feel like other money or tears easily, it could be counterfeit. According to the United States Secret Service, always look at the money you receive” and “compare a suspect note with a genuine note of the same denomination and series, paying attention to the quality of printing and paper characteristics. Look for differences, not similarities.” For more information, click here.
