On July 15 CBP officers examined an express shipment labeled "Handycrafts Pictures" and found 1,252 of the counterfeit bills hidden in laminated pictures and electronic cases. The next day, a second shipment labeled "Handycraft Bags" was seized and the rest of the bills were found stashed in organizer bags and a single electronic case.
No arrests have been made. The U.S. Secret Service is investigating the shipments.
