Local fire department says it was given prop money during event

HANOVER TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A local fire department says it was given prop money during a recent event.

In a social media post Sunday, the Hanover Volunteer Fire Department said someone handed them a $50 bill that turned out to be a motion picture prop.

The Beaver County department shared photos of the bill, text on which reads, “Motion picture purposes” and “In props we trust.”

“At first glance, it looks pretty convincing,” the department’s post reads, “so we wanted to share a reminder to our community and other organizations hosting fundraisers to take an extra moment to check cash, especially larger bills.”

The department noted it’s unclear whether the person knowingly gave them the prop.
