RCMP is warning residents and merchants to beware of counterfeit $5, $10 and $20 bills circulating throughout the province. There have been several counterfeit note seizures in recent weeks.
Both merchants and the public are encouraged to routinely check their money, not only to protect themselves against loss but also to prevent counterfeit bills from remaining in circulation. Bank note security features are easy to recognize by touching, tilting and by holding the bill up to the light, or comparing it to a bill known to be authentic.
