On Oct. 11, 2018, the St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office
issued a press release seeking the identity of a person who was suspected of
using a counterfeit bill at a local business.
After investigation by Sheriff’s Deputies with assistance
from the US Treasury Department, it was determined that the suspected
counterfeit $10 bill used recently at a St. Mary’s County store was in fact
legal currency.
It was a 68-year-old, mint-condition bill with several
printing irregularities, which led the cashier to believe that the bill was
counterfeit.
After further coordination and cooperation with US Treasury
officials, the currency was authenticated.
