A detention hearing is scheduled Thursday for 34-year-old Synaca Thomas and 25-year-old Brittany Jordan of Cypress.
Federal prosecutors say Thomas and Jordan allegedly obtained real $5 bills that they reprinted as counterfeit $100 bills.
Thomas and Jordan have been charged with conspiracy to counterfeit currency, making counterfeit currency and passing counterfeit currency. Thomas is also charged with two counts of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
The five-count indictment was returned June 23 and unsealed Wednesday after the couple's arrest. Details were not immediately available on attorneys for the pair.
