​​​​​Counterfeit Banknote Suppression 

       Although we are engaged in the daily use of banknotes as medium of exchange, we rarely familiarize ourselves with the features of banknotes. It is advisable to examine your banknotes whenever exchanging them with someone to ensure that they are genuine. Awareness of security features and ability to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit notes are of high importance.

        ​​​
        How you can help deter counterfeit threats: 

  • Take a close look at banknotes you receive, particularly those of high denomination.

  • Don't use or pass to another person counterfeit banknotes. Please note that the use of counterfeits is illegal.

  • Ask the person who gives you the counterfeit banknotes for additional information relating to the production, distribution, or passing.

  • If possible, observe the description of the passer/person who gives you the counterfeit. The description can lead to the arrest of counterfeiters.

  • Notify the police immediately, take the counterfeit banknotes to the nearest police station, or call 0-2282-7409 and 0-2356-7987.
