More than $6,000 in fake cash has been seized. Detectives say some of the bogus bills contained printing errors never intended for circulation.
Des Moines police say the counterfeit money was made by bleaching $5 bills and printing $100 on the bleached paper.
A weak image of Abraham Lincoln can been seen on a fake $100 that covered only half the sheet. A $100 bill had Ben Franklin on both sides.
Investigators say the bills weren't thrown away because they could be bleached again.
Three people have been arrested in the alleged forgery ring. They have not been charged with manufacturing the money, but with passing it.
