The woman was arrested and fake notes in the denomination of 2000, 500 and 200 with a total face value of Rs 69,700 were seized from here last evening, they said.
Mother of two girl children, the woman told the police that she took to the fake currency racket due to financial problems after her husband suffered losses in business.
She learnt to make fake notes by watching videos in YouTube and had purchased a photo copying machine without the knowledge of her family members, police said.
