Grocery Outlet in Eureka has been handed three fake hundred-dollar bills in recent days, Manager Dennie Linde told the Outpost this afternoon. How did they know the money was counterfeit?

“You can tell by looking at it,” Linde said. It disintegrates in water. Plus, all three bills have the same serial number.

The discount grocer’s bank, Wells Fargo, told Linde they’ve been finding fake 10s and 20s as well.

So beware, local merchants! Check those watermarks.
