Police reminder about counterfeit notes

Police are reminding the public and businesses to be vigilant for counterfeit $50 notes following a number of notes that have been passed on the northern side of the Gold Coast in the past few days.

The notes have been passed at licensed premises, gaming areas and service stations.

The $50 notes have different serial numbers and are a very good likeness however the feel of the note is not totally authentic and some of the colouring rubs away if rubbed vigorously with your finger. It also has a lack of coat of arms watermark when held to the light.

Anyone who has any information to offer police about counterfeit notes are urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
