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

Every organization 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 bills, counterfeit money may feature poor imitations of watermarks and holographic images.
• Counterfeit detection pens: Whilst not always entirely reliable, counterfeit detection pens detect fake money by reacting to the paper.
• Counterfeit detection devices: Devices like Cashmaster GenuOne scan bills at the point of purchase to minimize the acceptance of counterfeit money.

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