(PUEBLO, Colo.) — The Pueblo Police Department (PPD) is warning the community of prop money reportedly circulating in the area.
According to PPD, prop money labeled “For Motion Picture Purposes” has been circulating in Pueblo. PPD reminds the community to be vigilant when handling cash, and to look for specific indicators that will always be present on prop money, including phrases like:
- “Motion picture use only”
- “Copy”
- “Replica”
PPD said while prop money closely resembles real money, these indicators are a telltale sign that it is not legal tender.
If you believe you have received prop money during a transaction, PPD asks that you report it to to the department’s non-emergency dispatch line at 719-553-2502.
