Counterfeit $10 bills surfacing at local merchants

OREGON CITY, Ore. - You may want to check your wallet. Police have found fake $10 bills being passed in Oregon City.

One of KATU's producers was tipped off to the circulation when she received a phony $10 bill as change at a local grocery store. Her next stop after the discovery? The Secret Service.

People at Pioneer Pizza in Oregon City say the fake $10 bills came through there last month. The manager said a man and woman playing lottery - captured in surveillance video - tried to pass three bad bills.

However, the manager figured it out - with her fingertips.

"It felt kind of like wet paper, like a wet paper towel," said Monica Castillo at Pioneer Pizza. "Just touching it, just holding on to it, didn't feel right."

So Castillo said she handed the bills back.

But what if you, unlike Monica who handles money all day, don't have the touch to find fake bills? The Secret Service tells us the easiest way for you to tell is to compare it to other bills you have, and look for the differences.
