🚨 Be on the lookout for counterfeit bills in the area! 🚨
Many of the recently reported fake bills are actually washed lower denominations, making them pass the pen test. Don’t rely solely on counterfeit detector pens! Instead, check these additional key security features:

* Check the Portrait & Denomination – Fake bills often have altered portraits or incorrect denominations. Make sure they match!
* Watermark – Hold the bill up to the light; the watermark should match the printed portrait.
* Security Thread – A real bill has an embedded strip that is visible under light and marked with "USA" and the bill’s denomination.
* Color-Shifting Ink – Tilt the bill; the denomination in the lower right should change color.
* Texture & Print Quality – Genuine bills have a distinct texture and raised printing. If it feels off, take a closer look!

If you suspect a counterfeit bill, do not accept it. Report it to local authorities or your bank immediately.
