MORE COUNTERFEIT BILLS IN HRM
Police advising of counterfeit American currency
Halifax Police are once again advising us of the presence of counterfeit American bills in the Halifax region.
Over the last five months, police have received 23 reports of counterfeit American $50 and $100 bills being used at local businesses.
It is a crime to make, pass or possess counterfeit money. It is always good idea to check the security features in bank notes before accepting them. To learn more about security features on both Canadian and American bank notes visit:

Don’t accept a bill you believe is counterfeit. Contact police at 902-490-5020 if you think you’ve received a counterfeit bill or if someone attempts to use a bill that appears to be counterfeit.
