  COUNTERFEIT CASH SEIZED IN NEW ZEALAND
  

  Dr K.A. Rodgers of Auckland, New Zealand sent us this
  story, which was published on October 20:
  

  "An alleged smuggler was caught with almost $US1.3 million
  in counterfeit notes at Auckland International Airport yesterday.
  

  Comptroller of Customs Martyn Dunne said the 46-year-old
  New Zealand resident was intercepted at the airport after arriving
  from Sydney.
  

  Customs officers had identified him as "a person of interest" on
  arrival and a search of his baggage revealed bundles of counterfeit
  $US100 notes...
  

  "This is one of the biggest seizures of forged bank notes conducted
  by Customs officers at our borders for some time," Mr Dunne said."
