real money is often thinner than counterfeit money. compare the bill with another of the same value. hold the bill up to the light. for all bills except 1 and 2 dollar bills, there should be a security thread or plastic strip running from top to bottom. "this is one of the types of bills that have been going around. like i demonstrated to you guys earlier when i handed to you and asked you to tell me what's wrong with it and you said the paper feels funny, the color's funny, but you didn't notice it said for motion picture use only," said sioux city detective bill nice. the counterfeit cash you may see in sioux city, can be purchased online, oftentimes only meant to be used in films. detective bill nice says there is a lot of fake money floating through the system in sioux city. one local business owner says the issue dies down as the dollar fades out.
