A stack of $100 bills was found in the Keys. It was film ‘money’ — and there’s a warning
If you found some big bucks in the Florida Keys, you may not be able to spend it.
A stack of bogus $100 bills was found in the Florida Keys this week, prompting the sheriff’s office to issue a warning to businesses along the island chain to be on the lookout for more of the funny money that might be circulating.
The bills — found Thursday near the Seven Mile Bridge in the Middle Keys city of Marathon — are marked with labels stating they are props for filming movies.
But they still look like the real thing at first glance, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement released on social media.
“Be aware of these notes,” the statement reads. “Be careful and studios when accepting large sums of cash.”
