Jackson County Jail to begin scanning bills after taking in $500 in counterfeit money Comment By Hannah Golden Mail Tribune MailTribune.com By Hannah Golden Mail Tribune Posted Aug. 10, 2016 at 12:52 PM Updated Aug 10, 2016 at 1:53 PM By Hannah Golden Mail Tribune Posted Aug. 10, 2016 at 12:52 PM Updated Aug 10, 2016 at 1:53 PM » Social News The Jackson County Jail has begun scanning all incoming bills after receiving about $500 worth of counterfeit money in the last few weeks. The jail posted a notice this week that states, "Any currency that is suspicious will not be accepted and may be reported to law enforcement." The counterfeit money was not discovered until the bills arrived at the bank, says jail commander Capt. Dan Penland. The department doesn't know who passed the bills to the jail or when. "We don't know if it was one transaction or more than one," Penland says. "There was a spurt there." The bills could have come from an inmate, someone posting bail, or a combination. The jail will use a scanning machine that detects counterfeit money. Bills that the office identifies as potentially counterfeit will be turned over to law enforcement. Bills that are not confirmed as counterfeit but are still suspicious — for example, with tape, ink or other marks — will be returned.
