Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Patrick ! M. Sheridan]

  Criminals would pay about 40% of the face value of the bills for a "10 stack," or $10,000 worth of the bills, and then use the notes at local CVS (CVS) drugstores, car washes or Lowe's (LOW) home improvement stores. Most of the bills were circulated along the Interstate-95 corridor in the East.
