Amarillo, TX - Some fake $100 bills being passed in Amarillo started as real money.
Amarillo police are looking for suspects in the passing of the altered $5 bills.
Police say various merchants recently have been duped with about $4,000 worth of the fake $100 bills.
Police say some of the altered currency still had faint Abraham Lincoln markings, like real $5 bills.
Investigators believe the $5 bills are being washed until the ink fades, then the bills are reprinted with $100 designations.

The $1 bill has not yet been redesigned to the new design so they can't use it.
Perhaps you should think before you insult people by calling them stupid.

The one dollar bill doesn't have the strip embedded in the paper. The lowest bill to have it is the $5.
