New Zealand Fake Money Drop Riot

In the shades-of-the-WKRP-turkey-drop department, here's a tale from down under of a marketing stunt gone ugly. -Editor

I thought Turkeys Could Fly Police have confirmed they are now reviewing a stunt that was pitched as a $100,000 money drop in downtown Auckland - but which turned out to be mostly fake cash.

The Reserve Bank has also issued a warning that it is illegal to publish anything resembling a genuine banknote after fake $5 notes rained down on people clambering for what they thought was cash.

Safety Warehouse is under siege from furious members of the public who attended Saturday's event in Aotea Square. The company pledged to giveaway $100,000 in cash but the crowd turned ugly when many realised pretend $5 notes - which could be used as a discount - were being distributed.
