Men detained over counterfeit money

Two 23-year-old men in Xi'an were detained recently for allegedly counterfeiting money and attempting to sell it via express delivery services. The men, from Qingjian county and both surnamed Hao, allegedly started using printers to make counterfeit money in May. On May 18, one of the men attempted to send counterfeit money in a package under an assumed name, arousing the suspicions of the courier. He reported the man to the police, who discovered fake cash in the package. The police detained the men two months later, and the case is under further investigation.
