“We are encouraging both traders and public to be on their guard against counterfeit notes,” a PSNI spokesperson said.
“There are a number of things to look out for, including; does the main printing feel raised, can you see a bold and clear watermark when the note is held up to the light, is the print clear, sharp and well defined?
"Comparing a suspicious note against one which is known to be genuine is also a good way to check.
"Counterfeit notes are damaging for local businesses so please report any incidents to us straightaway.”
