Counterfeit money is a form of fake currency, created for committing fraud and fooling cashiers.

Every organisation handles cash differently, but most rely on a core set of methods for counterfeit detection, including:

• An awareness of the signs: As well as often having a different texture to regular notes, counterfeit money may feature poor imitations of watermarks and holographic images.
  
  
• Counterfeit detection devices: Devices like Cashmaster GenuOne scan notes at the point of purchase using multiple imperceptible security features to maximise the detection of counterfeit money.

If you receive counterfeit money from a customer, you should secure the banknote and report it to the police. Officials advise against returning the counterfeit notes to the individual and instead placing them in a secure envelope or plastic bag.
