Fake $50 notes have been reported as circulating in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne this week. Click here for advice from the Reserve Bank on the security features in Australian notes. The fake I have seen is very good and easily passed at a busy counter. Take care.
Also ensure that you don’t take the hoax email doing the rounds showing a real “fake” $50 note seriously. This has been circulated very heavily and is a hoax.
Fake 50’s in Albury yesterday – ourselves and the pop-up DVD/CD store in the nearby Mall affected. Police have a description from the other store, and we will have video when I have time to show the staff member we think accepted the notes.
They always pick a busy time don’t they ! And they won’t be in Albury today, they wil be in Wagga or Wangaratta…..
