Warning about fake money

A middle Georgia sheriff is telling local businesses to be on the lookout for counterfeit money. Bibb County officials say they've already recovered $1,000 in fake 50 dollar bills. They say a woman used the phony money to buy a designer handbag at a Bibb County Coach store. Police say mom and pop stores are hit especially hard by counterfeiters. So how do you spot fake money? Authorities say the main giveaway is multiple bills with the same serial number.
