The Macao police has apprehended a suspect allegedly "putting fake banknotes into circulation," local media reported on Friday.
The Macao Post Daily quoted police sources as saying that the police seized from the male suspect 80 Hong Kong-dollar notes worth 40,000 HK dollars (about 5,000 US dollars).
The bogus banknotes, which were seemingly produced by color jet printer, were "very rough," according to the newspaper.
The case has been transferred to the Public Prosecution for further investigations, it reported.
