Sheriff Warns Carroll County Citizens on Counterfeit Coins
Sheriff Sanford Allen today issued a warning to Carroll County residents about counterfeit coins. He explained a reliable test is to drop a coin on a hard surface to hear the metallic ring, with real money producing a different sound. Bob Smith reported accepting a fifty-cent piece and a nickel at his East Main street filling station, and the coins have been turned over to authorities for investigation. Another counterfeit nickel was found at Betty's Lunch, with more likely in circulation but hard to detect due to the convincing craftsmanship.
