Reports of Fake Money Up in Athens

There are reports of people trying to use counterfeit money on purchases at local businesses. There were two reports in Oconee County last week. Two counterfeit twenty-dollar bills passed through a Dollar General in Bogart, and a Bank South on Macon Highway received a counterfeit 100-dollar bill. The U.S. Department of Treasury has a list of what to do if you come across a counterfeit bill here.
