OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT/Gray News)— Counterfeit $100 bills featuring President Trump are circulating on social media.

The bad bill also has Trump’s signature and “RE-ELECT TRUMP IN 2024″ on the front.

While U.S. currency has no such denomination, the fake bill in the image also has similar modern money markings and Trump phrases as the counterfeit $100.

Making or using counterfeit money is a serious crime. Earlier this month, a 28-year-old man in Chicago was sentenced to more than seven years in federal prison for manufacturing about $92,000 in fake $100 bills. Authorities said he tried to use the bills to make purchases at local businesses, recruiting woman and even girls as young as 16 years old to assist with the purchases.

If you do come across a counterfeit bill, police or the U.S. Secret Service Omaha field office.
