Mason City police say that on Monday, October 9th shortly after 8:00 PM, officers were dispatched to Godfather’s Pizza at 1703 4th Street S.E. on a report of a man that had attempted to pay with a counterfeit $20 bill.
That investigation led to a search warrant being served at an apartment in the 200 block of 5th Street N.E. During that search, another identical counterfeit $20 was found as well as methamphetamine, marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Another Mason City restaurant discovered an identical counterfeit bill on Sunday, October 8th, that was turned over to police.
The investigation is still on going and charges are pending.
According to police, these most recent counterfeit bills have some Russian text printed on them, as well as the word “Cruger” under the portrait of President Jackson. Also on the back of the bill under the image of the White House are the words “Donetsk City”.
Сувенир literally means souvenir (the translation is even phonetic). These are not counterfeit. This is some stupid Russian play money that some dumb meth heads got their hands on and tried to pass off as real.
play money or not, it is counterfeit, it is to close to real thing that it can and has been passed as real. this makes it illegal. so it is a federal offense. DUH!
F B I -farm boys of iowa asked for all eyewitness phones from vegas shooting – returned them wiped clean – still think this was not an inside job ? Can u say covert/deep state/globelists/demrats ?
These are the new T I F bills – everything is free as the suppervisors would have you brainwashed peon believe. Thieves in charge until caught and jailed.
You do know that your former liar in chief – chief take up the pipes – flew Airforce 1 to Hollywood and had a party on board – with no other than Weinstein and perverts – UCCK ! NO wonder Trump had it sanitized.
Pizzagate =Comet = brain dead demorats.
Maybe its that new bill coming out with the welfare lady on it – replacing Andrew Jackson I heard – Whole damn demonic party is on drugs.
They are prototypes for the new $20 bills that will be issued in 2018. Thanks Mr. Trump!
Is this what they taught you at Winona State? And they let you teach our kids? And we’re paying you a pension? Unbelievable!!
Jealous huh?
Nothing wrong with Winona State. It is a very good college with a few communist teachers.

Too bad these were not the 150 BILLION cash dollars the corrupt demorats gave to their Muzzy partners of IRAN.
There are billions of chinese printed US dollars floating around – I’d bet the old racist has been collecting them – demorats = pimple on MAGAs azz – daily bath kills them.
I bet this is Trump’s fault.
Well he is more loyal to his Russian puppet masters than he is the citizens of the USA.
Why are you still complaining about Trump? I thought you would be in Canada by now. Wouldn’t they let you in?
I don’t hate anyone except chickenshit, bigmouth TROLLS.
Hatred has consequences. From the attempt to assassinate Republican members of Congress to Las Vegas slaughter of stereotypical Trump supporters. There was the racially motivated serial killer in Kansas City area, he killed just older white males. Illegals are told we are white supremacists and out to hurt them. No surprise when one swerves into 2 motorcycles killing 4. He was reward with $5000 bail so he could escape.
You know, President Trump is proving himself to be a great president. Time for you to get on board the Trump Train and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
President Trump has proven himself to be not only a great leader but a visionary. He is the first President in my lifetime that wants to make life better for the working class. You can’t deny he has improved the American economy and protecting us at the same time. President Trump was handed a mess and he has done a fantastic job tackling the issues.
It’s time for you to get on board the Trump Train and help us MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Can you cite any specific policies or actions Trump himself has taken that back up your claims? Didn’t think so
He has gotten rid of almost all of Obumer’s illegal executive actions and has gotten the economy moving again after 8 years of communist stagnation.
Oh yea-he just signed a executive order to correct the fiasco called Obumercare.
Speaking of cites, how about a cite on your 6:48 A. M. post above.
Ties to Russia? Really. Fake news headlines are alive and well at the world headquarters of NIT. Attaboy Matt!
Can’t you see the connection, really.
Christ in heaven you are dense. The headline says “Russian ties” … you know, the Russian language? Wow, just wow. Back to 3rd grade for you, dummy.
Slow down there boys…….Just because there is Russian language on a bill does not necessarily “tie” the counterfeit currency to Russia. If they are smart enough to infiltrate our monetary system why would they be so stupid as to leave such an obvious footprint? Next we will be chasing the Latin/Rome conspiracy theorists because e pluribus unum is on our bills. Take a deep breath its gonna be alright.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
It is ridiculous to counterfeit US money and put Russian characters on them. What is the point? Why waste the paper, ink, and time and not do things right? This is some prank.
Think about it. If the bill is not an attempt at an exact duplicate then it can be argued that it is not counterfeit currency. It would be like accepting monopoly bucks then claiming your were ripped off.
Wow!
