Counterfit Money

Funny money is on the loose in the Port City of Saint John and the police Fraud section wants you to be aware of it. This time fake C-notes are being circulated.
The one-hundred dollar bills have the holographic strip from a ten dollar bill attached to them. The money is from the Canadian Journey Series from 2004. Police say built-in security features should help you indentify which bills are real.

They include the raised surfaces on the money, tilting the bill to look for the changing colours from the holographic strip.

You can also look for the fine-line printing in the portrait and background patterns.
