Tom Weeks, who works at Main Street Pizza and Subs, in Salem said he takes precautions if he sees suspicious cash by using a money marker pen.



The pen only costs a few dollars and is simple to use.



"You gotta make sure everything coming across is real. But a lot of the people we deal with are local people that we have a lot of interest in and trust in. You always gotta make sure they haven't been handed something as well," Weeks said. "You can get one of these pens and you can mark and if it comes across a light yellow then it's a nice normal color. If it's anything other than that or abnormal so you need to take precautions and go to your bank and go to your law enforcement."



If you spot suspicious or counterfeit money, contact the Washington County Sheriff's Department at (812) 883-5999.
