Boy fooled clerk with fake $50 bill made of paper with Chinese characters:police
LOWER SACKVILLE, N.S. — Police say a 15-year-old boy managed to fool a convenience store clerk with a fake $50 bill that was made of paper and covered in Chinese characters.
They say the boy asked the clerk for change at a store in the Halifax suburb of Lower Sackville last month.
The bill was red and similar to a legitimate $50 bill, but had notable differences including the Chinese writing.
Police say the clerk gave him bona fide Canadian bank notes in return.
