VAN WERT, OH (WLIO) - The Van Wert Police Department is warning people to watch out for counterfeit bills.
They say in a Facebook post, anyone accepting payment is asked to closely check any bills they receive because several businesses in Van Wert and Delphos have reported receiving fake currency. If the bill feels too thin, the color doesn't seem right or does not have raised ink or red and blue fibers through it, the bill may be a counterfeit. The best way businesses can make sure money is legitimate is by making sure you mark it with a counterfeit pen before completing a transaction.
