Police Warn of Movie-Prop Cash Circulating in Florida Keys

Following recent finds in the Lower Keys and Key West, officers urge careful cash checks.

Overview

  • The Monroe County Sheriff's Office reported fake $100 bills intended for film use turning up in the Lower Keys and Key West.
  • The notes are labeled "for motion picture purposes" and "not legal tender" yet can pass at a quick glance.
  • Key West police previously alerted the public to counterfeit-style $20 bills, noting a smirking Andrew Jackson as a giveaway.
  • Residents and visitors were asked to inspect cash they receive and to share the warning locally.
  • Authorities have not identified the source or scope of the prop currency, and inquiries are ongoing.
