What to do AFTER you Spot a Counterfeit Bill :: Counterfeit Detection Tips

Friday, July 20th, 2012

Every day counterfeit bills pass through retail stores, bars, banks and restaurants across the country. As a business owner, this has to be chilling. You work hard to keep your business profitable, which is no easy task in today’s economy. The last thing you need is to take a counterfeit bill as payment.

Counterfeit Detection Tips

There are several ways to spot counterfeit bills. We explained some of these tips in one of our previous blogs, Counterfeit Detection Tips for Businesses and their Employees. But we at Dunbar also offer several products to help make this process even easier.

Dunbar Counterfeit Detection Products

The use of equipment and instruments, with magnifying lenses, magnetic ink detectors, chemical pens, watermark lights, infrared cameras and UV lamps are highly recommended. It is only with these tools that we can truly know if the bill being examined contains the security features that are placed to protect us and that the bill is authentic.

But what do you do AFTER you spot a counterfeit bill?

  1. DO NOT confront the person who passed you the bill or return the bill to that person.
  2. Once the person leaves, write down everything you can remember about the individual, including license plate number (if possible).
  3. Notify the Secret Service Office or your local police department as soon as possible.
  4. Write your initials and date in the white border of the bill and store it in a plastic bag.

Once you hand the bill over to the authorities, the Treasury Department will remove the bill from circulation and later use it as evidence for the prosecution of the counterfeiter.

The Benefits of an ATM for your Cash-Heavy Business : Dunbar ATM Services

  • Checks Bounce, Cash Won’t: Bounced checks cost your business money. So cut back on the risk. Invest in an ATM.
  • Retention Rates: Studies have shown that 25% of all cash withdrawn from an ATM is spent on the premises. This number increases to 75% for establishments like bars and restaurants.
