Counterfeit money is made up of imitation notes or coins produced by criminals. The fraudsters often use sophisticated printing techniques to make the counter counterfeit cash appear genuine.
If you have found or been given cash that you believe may be counterfeit please take it into your local bank. If you work in a shop or business and someone has tried to pay with counterfeit money, try and keep the note if doing so will not place anyone in danger. Then take the note or notes to your local police station or report it by using our Live Chat facility, which can be accessed by clicking the button on the right of the screen.
