(KAIR)--Counterfeit cash is reported in Horton.

According to a post on the Horton Police Department's Facebook page, the fake United States currency, lettered with pink Chinese characters, has surfaced at local Horton businesses.

The post states the bills are not valid, and are used as a training aid for bank tellers in China, and can be purchased online.

Area businesses are alerted to be on the look out for the funny money, which should not be accepted. If any is received, Horton Police want to be contacted at 785-485-2624 to investigate.

Knowingly presenting such currency as legitimate is a felony.
