NEW YORK – It wasn’t worth the paper it was printed on, despite what it looked like.

The play dough was found in the bottom of the suitcases of woman arriving from Medellin, Colombia.

Karol Andrea Chilito Solarte’s bags contained 46 packets of funny money.

Chilito Solarte, 29, is a Colombian citizen. She’s been turned over to agents of the Secret Service.
