The Hill City Area Chamber of Commerce is warning residents and businesses after a counterfeit $10 bill was reported circulating in Pennington County.
Officials urge people to carefully inspect all cash denominations, noting that counterfeit detection pens are not always reliable and can produce false results. The Federal Reserve recommends checking multiple security features when verifying currency.
Anyone who suspects they have received a counterfeit bill should secure it, avoid passing it on, gather a description of the person who used it, and contact local law enforcement immediately. Authorities say prompt reporting can help prevent additional counterfeit bills from entering circulation.
