SCOTTSVILLE, K.Y. (WZTV) — The Scottsville Police Department (SPD) are warning those in the area that they are beginning to see the “motion picture" money in circulation.
This incident seems to be a repeat of a similar issue with movie prop bills that emerged in the Scottsville area in April of this year soon after the Newport Oregon Police reported that $1 million worth of fake movie money was stolen was a vehicle.
The police are advising that people take precaution because the bills look real but feel more like paper.
Be sure to watch your bills as they say “MOTION PICTURE USE ONLY” The back of the bill reads ”IN COPY BILL WE TRUST.” SPD advises these are not legal tender. If you encounter any counterfeit currency please contact your local law enforcement.
