Counterfeit Money

Use the TILL method of checking for counterfeit bills:

• Touch the bill - bank note paper has a unique feel with raised ink on the front of the bill
• Tilt the bill - watch for the changing colours of the numbers and the maple leaves in the metallic stripe and to the left of the bill
• Look through the bill - hold the bill up to the light and look for the ghost image and puzzle number near the middle
• Look at the bill - you need to look carefully to make sure it appears and works as it should when you tilt or look through the note
• Train staff to check for counterfeit money.
