Local sheriff’s office puts out warning about fake money being passed around

OCONEE COUNTY, Ga. — The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office is warning people about fake money that is circulating across the county.

On their Facebook page, the sheriff’s office posted photos of the fake $100 bills.

Though they look like legit bills, the money has “motion picture use only” and “in copy we trust” on the front and back of them.
