PONTOTOC, Miss. — Some Mississippi inmates were picking peas in a garden when they got a call to clean up money scattered along a roadside.
It seemed too good to be true — and it was.
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reported the fake currency, found Saturday, made for use in movies. One of the $100 bills was emblazoned with words "For Motion Picture Use Only."
Pontotoc County Sheriff Leo Mask said it appears someone was hauling theater equipment because a movie reel was also tossed by the road. Deputies were counting the funny money, and an investigation continues.
