Businesses in the 3100 block of St. Paul Street in Charles Village were victimized when a spate of counterfeit bills were passed last week.

The counterfeiter paid for small purchases in the businesses with $100 bills that were later discovered to be fake.

Some establishments, such as the Charles Village Pub, have stopped accepting $100 bills as a result of the counterfeit bills.
