KERRVILLE, Texas — Some ‘funny money’ was used to make a purchase at a Kerrville yard sale over the weekend, Kerrville Police say.
The $100 bill was passed off as real currency and the suspect received real cash when they got their change from the fake bill.
The phony $100 bill had “For Motion Picture Use” clearly marked across the face of the bill.
Officers say that at first glance, the fake bill does look pretty good, but when you take a closer look, you see the disclaimer on the front and across the back it also says “Play Money Only'” in large letters.

Police remind you that there will always be folks who try to take advantage of unsuspecting people, so if you deal in cash, pay close attention to the details and make sure the cash is actually legitimate.
Also a word to the wise… Motion Picture bills aka “Movie Money” are available in all denominations, not just $100.
