A social media post has started to make the rounds about counterfeit money being used in the Crossroads a couple of weeks ago.  Grumpy's Meatzzeria posted about the counterfeit purchase on their Facebook page. Please take a moment to check your bills and be extra cautious when receiving change from stores or individuals. Stay alert and spread the word!

Here are some tips to help you avoid counterfeit money:

  • Look for the watermarks and threads. Legitimate currency notes often feature watermarks and security threads that are embedded during the printing process. Hold the bill up to the light to check for these security features.
  • Look for the microprinting. Authentic banknotes often incorporate microprinting, which involves printing tiny text or patterns that are difficult to replicate. Use a magnifying glass to inspect the note.
  • Use a UV light. Genuine banknotes often contain UV-reactive elements that become visible when exposed to UV light.
