As one of the posters to the news pointed out... this news is is INCOMPLETE...a “shipment” of ANYTHING from some one, HAS to be sent to SOME ONE.
WHO was this shipment sent to, WHO sent it, and are they being questioned. We all know the old adage...”follow the money”.

Dollar bills? Wow. I’ve often heard counterfeiters like the big bills such as $100, $50, and $20.
I’m sure in retailing, dollar bills get less scrutiny than the big bills, so probably they are easier to spend and get rid of.

During WWII the Germans produced what seemed like perfect pound notes. The Bank of England caught them almost immediately but I have no idea how.

Ones? 900,000 ones? I guess that they figured they could pawn them off easily because no one bothers to check a $1 bill to see if it is counterfeit.

Of all the bills to counterfeit. If you are going to counterfeit a bill it should be a Benjamin. I wonder if the choice was the $1 is less secure than the Benjamin.

Why Nine hundred thousand not a million?
Because if you ship over one million dollars of counterfeit bills, you have to report it.

Makes ZERO sense to counterfeit ONE dollar bills.
If you bought something for say even $80, you would draw unwanted attention to yourself and the bills counting out EIGHTY bills!
The only way to not get caught, would be to spend them exclusively on lap dances.

Maybe want to check those to see if they’ve been treated with the current coronavirus - or anything else.

Its probably fake money used for burning, a form of joss paper, and not actual counterfeit... sometimes called 'hell money' in the west.

It would take some time, but go to Vegas or any place where there’s more than one casino. Pump those dollar bills in a slot machine. Play a game or two and cash out - you get a voucher that can be traded in for real money.
