Arrests Lead to $17.7 Million in Bogus $100 Bills

Two men who spent eight years trying to perfect a true-to-life $100 bill were arrested in the Los Angeles area and $17.7 million worth of their bogus currency was seized, U.S. Secret Service agents said Friday.

It was the largest such seizure in the nation's history, said Al Joaquin, assistant special agent in charge of the Secret Service office here.

He said the reproduction achieved in eight years of photo offset printing experimentation by Harold Cecil Cooper, 56, of Buena Park and Wick A. Helmandollar, 40, of Salmon, Ida., was "of tremendous quality."

Unfortunately for Cooper and Helmandollar, who were taken into custody in a City of Industry restaurant parking lot about 11 a.m. Thursday when they allegedly tried to sell $3.7 million worth to a couple of undercover Secret Service agents, the paper was not quite good enough.
