bogus bills
Counterfeit paper money
Bogus bills are counterfeit currency—fake paper money made to pass as genuine.
The phrase appears in discussions of counterfeiting operations and fraud: Police seized thousands of bogus bills from the warehouse.
Bogus bills can also refer to fraudulent invoices or legislative bills introduced in bad faith, though counterfeit money is the primary meaning.
