Furry money turns out legit

A $5 bill passed to a Hillsboro merchant apparently had been washed and left with an odd feel.

Police were called to Ampride when a cashier took the $5 from a customer and noticed it didn’t feel “right.”

“The paper felt, I don’t know how to describe it other than ‘furry,’” police chief Jessey Hiebert said.

He ran tests on the bill and took it to a bank for more testing before deciding it was legitimate.
