Counterfeit Bills Popping Up In Door County

Counterfeit currency has been showing up at financial institutions in Door County this week.

 Since Monday, Security officials at Bay Lake Bank have detected four counterfeit bills including three $20.00 notes and one $10.00 bill. The bills were found at the Bay Lake Bank Ellison Bay branch and at the Main branch in Sturgeon Bay.

 The Door County Sheriff's Department says all (3) $20.00 dollar bills appear to be identical, including a matching serial number of JD76175865A. The bills are reported to feel thinner and flimsier than a normal $20.00 as well.

 The Sheriff's Department asks that all area merchants be on the look-out for phony-money. Should you suspect that you have received any suspicious currency call immediately.
