Federal authorities are warning of counterfeit $100 bills that may be circulating in the area.
The fake Benjamins (slang for $100 bills) are reported to be of high quality.

A Secret Service official from the Philadelphia Field Office told CBS 3 reporter Liz Hurr the fake bills are prevalent along the I-95 corridor up and down the East Coast.
A poster distributed to regional law enforcement was obtained by LevittownNow.com and says the bills have the following serial numbers on the front:
- DB016240_ _ A
- DB124240_ _ A
- DJ863653_ _ A
- DJ663653_ _ A
- FL993241_ _ B
The field distributed to law enforcement also notes that fake bills have a tiny 77 printed on the bottom right of the back.

Little further information was made available by federal investigators.
The Secret Service are asking anyone who receives a fake $100 bill to obtain as much information about the person who passed it before calling local police or the FBI’s Philadelphia branch at 215-861-3300.
