On Friday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the International Falls Port of Entry in Minnesota at the U.S./Canada border seized $900,000 in counterfeit United States currency that was found in a commercial rail shipment originating from China.
As CBP said in a statement, “ … a rail container was referred for a Customs Exam Station inspection on Dec. 14, 2019. During the examination, CBP discovered 45 cartons of possible counterfeit currency in the form of $1 bills with a total face value of $900,000. The United States Secret Service was contacted and determined the currency is counterfeit.”
