(Beaver County, PA) A fire department in Beaver County says it was given prop money during a recent event.
The Hanover Volunteer Fire Department said in a social media post yesterday that someone handed them a $50 bill that turned out to be a motion picture prop.
That department shared photos of the bill and the text on it reads, “Motion picture purposes” and “In props we trust.”
The department noted that it is unclear whether the person gave them the prop knowingly and they suggest that fundraisers would take more time to check cash, especially bills that are larger.
