Counterfeit bills being used in Cody 

CODY (AP) — Police in Cody are investigating the use of counterfeit $20 bills over the last few weeks.

Police say on two separate occasions, employees at a Cody convenience store identified purchases made with $20 bills that appeared to be counterfeit.

The Cody Enterprise reports that upon receipt of the third suspicious bill, a store manager contacted police and an investigation determined the money was counterfeit.

Police spokesman John Harris says it’s believed the counterfeit money is only being used in Cody.
