Customs officials uncover counterfeit bills worth 1.2 million US dollars

Customs officials in the west Bohemian town of Cheb say they have uncovered over one million fake 100 US dollar bills in two containers that were brought into the country from Vietnam. The police are now investigating what the bills, which are printed on both sides but are in brighter colour, were to be used for. While 450,000 bills were discovered last Tuesday among kitchen utensils, the others were found three days later hidden among food supplies.
