There’s a warning out in Humboldt County after a batch of fake $100 bills started turning up. Deputies say they’ve seized a number of counterfeit bills in recent weeks and want people to take a closer look at the cash they’re handling. They suggest checking things like the texture of the paper, the color-shifting ink, and the security strip to spot fakes. If it feels too smooth or looks off, it probably is. Anyone who comes across suspicious money is being asked to report it to the sheriff’s office.
