CHINESE PRACTICE NOTES CIRCULATED IN OHIO

Earlier E-Sylum articles discussed "Practice Notes" said to be used in China to train bank tellers and shopkeepers in handling U.S. paper money. Police in Ashtabula County, Ohio have seized similar notes in a counterfeiting investigation. -Editor

Another area police department is warning people to be on the lookout for counterfeit money.

This time it's in the Ashtabula County community of Orwell where police recovered phony bills from two different businesses.

Police say the bills are similar to American currency, however, they are marked with Chinese lettering.

These are similar to the practice notes illustrated earlier, but those did not have serial numbers. I haven't checked, but I'm sure these are available on eBay for any enterprising shover to try. -Editor
