Officials say businesses and individuals should examine cash, especially $20 bills, and ensure it is actual U.S. legal tender.

The money is described as having text stating, “for motion picture use or purposes,” where “United States of America” should be, and the back reads “In Prop We Trust,” where “In God We Trust” usually appears.

Jenkins City Hall said the fake money can feel thinner than actual money.
