Fake money from a controversial promotional cash-drop in Auckland has been used to dupe a bar into providing free drinks in Hamilton. On Saturday work apparel company The Safety Warehouse hosted a $100,000 cash drop in central Auckland's Aotea Square. Tensions flared when some of the money turned out to be discount vouchers for the online store, printed to look like $5 notes. Duped attendees demanded to be compensated with real cash, and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has called for an apology. Fake notes from and Auckland cash drop were used at Hamilton's Outback Inn over the weekend.
