Phony $100 bills reported by merchants
Phony $100 bills have been circulated in the Lake Placid area. At least two merchants have reported finding the fake bills.
The Lake Placid Police Department took reports from local merchants this week of counterfeit $100 bills being passed — even though the bills passed the merchants’ pen test. The bills were both 1985 series and had the same serial numbers, that being B02609463B.
