The Battle Creek Police Department is issuing an advisory, after receiving multiple complaints of counterfeit $100 bills in the area.

The bills superficially look and feel like real currency, but have the words “For Motion Picture Use Only” printed on the front and back.  This prop cash is readily available online in stacks of ten-thousand or more.

The BCPD says that to avoid being defrauded as a business or individual, take a close look at currency before you accept it, as this particular variety of fake cash is clearly marked as fake. If you find one of these fake bills being passed as real, you are asked to contact police.
