BAY CITY, Mich. — Authorities traced counterfeit $10 bills to the home of a 15-year-old boy, who has been accused of using his computer to print the phony bills.
The teenager, whose name was not released, admitted the counterfeiting, police said.
Officers found discarded practice bills in a wastebasket during a search Friday, the Bay City Times reported. The boy and some friends apparently scanned the image of a $10 bill into his computer and printed copies.
The teenager is believed to have told classmates about the phony money after businesses and consumers were warned about fake $10 bills.
