Hard on the heels of a report claiming Peru is now LatAm's leading cocaine producer...comes the news that...Lima has overtaken North Korea...in producing counterfeit USA dollars...especially 50's.
A member of the notorious family outfit...the Quispe Rodriguez clan...was caught trying to ship $2.3 million in 50's inside souvenirs.
The family also makes fake euros and Peruvian soles.
So far this year...police there have seized $17 million in phony bills.
