Three $100 dollar bills, believed to be counterfeit, were confiscated as part of an investigation into the incident, according to a written report from police.
Paglianti faces five counts of attempting to make a false writing and two counts of making a false writing.
She was booked into the Cowley County Jail and is being held on a $14,000 bond.
