Nearly $15 million in fake money seized by CBP officers in Philadelphia

- U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents stopped millions of dollars in counterfeit cash from getting into Philadelphia last month.

Officers showed off what they seized from shipments intercepted on May 2, May 5, and May 26.

Agents say the fake bills closely resembled real US currency that would be worth nearly $15 million.

I like how this story has almost no information in it. 😂

[ProfessorOfChaos]

it says "copy" on the face of the bill... it would have been nice of the reporter to point that out but no; this isn't real journalism.

Wonder why Customs & Border Control weren't able to catch that load at the border...

On the black market if you was to buy the whole lot it would cost you roughly around 10-15 grand and some jail time.

I've gotten fake 10s and 20s from the corner gas station and I guarantee the guy working there knows they are fake bc I sent someone in with one from him and he knew it was fake instantly but when I brought it back in he told me I was crazy 🙄
