Lenoir Man Faces Fake Bill Charge

Lenoir, Jan. 27 (AP) - A Lenoir man who allegedly pasted the corners from $20 play money onto genuine $10 bills has been charged with counterfeiting.

Charlotte Secret Service chief Vernon Spicer identified the defendant as Cone Carl Coffey Jr. Coffey was arraigned yesterday before U. S. Commissioner Fred H. Hoover here and posted $500 bond for trial in Federal District Court.

Coffey is charged with passing one of the bogus notes at a service station here Saturday to pay for gasoline. Later that day, a storekeeper said Coffey handed him one of the fake bills, but he thought Coffey was playing a joke.

Spicer said he previously had never seen children's play money used to alter genuine bills. "Usually they use the corners of genuine notes to raise bills of lower denominations," he added. Cone died at Caldwell Memorial Hospital in Lenoir, Caldwell Co., NC on 10 September 1964 of bilateral broncopneumonia and was buried at Boone Fork Community Cemetery in Blowing Rock, Watauga Co., NC.^{19632,19633,19634,19635}
