Counterfeit 50 EURO Duisenberg

Post by JHN-TX »

Someone tried to pass a counterfeit :note-50: at Texaco Salthill last week.
The police have the note,but the man who works at the garage took photo of note and wants me to enter it.
He just wants to know if it turned up any other place. V143..........
Is it ok to enter note or should I not?

Most fake bills are printed in batches, all with the same serial number, so - if it has a valid serial number - the chance that someone has entered it before is quite big.

Yes, but the information provided is unreal (in case of a Hit) because, as there are a few notes with the same serial (eventually), then you actually don't know whether it is YOUR note the one which has been in such place or not.

It is not an easy issue. :?

The serial number does not come up as valid.
I asked man at garage to double check photo of note and he came up with same serial number.

Paper quality was bad,no line,but hologram stuck on to note.

Imho, EBT was created for tracking euro banknotes, and the counterfeited notes are not really ones.
I think we must not enter fake notes...

I suppose it is better all round hat the serial number is not valid.
There was a :flag-ie: hit a number of years ago with a counterfeit :note-10: ,but please do not try and take this hit away as I believe it was a genuine "hit"

If this note had water mark and hologram , it may have spent some time in washing machine and may not have been counterfeit at all, DISCLAIMER.
I had trouble at post office with a very faded :note-5:
The cashier asked her supervisor,who asked his supervisor,who asked their manager.it took 15 minutes before they agreed that the note was genuine.
It is a good job that it was not a :note-500: that I had.

But if you do enter the note and get a hit, won't that point to another place where the "same" fake note has been used? The police might be interested in that. Maybe it's even worthwile to keep it even if there's no hit in order to "trap" other fakes? Just some thoughts....

I'll just revive this topic to mention this TV report about some fake :note-50: 's that may be circulating in Portugal and possibly elsewhere (all with the same fake serial):

I've just checked my notes... just in case. No similar serial number was found by me. (fortunately!)

Was told 2 nights ago by casino staff that counterfeit :note-50: were circulating in Galway.
Don`t have serial numbers but paper quality was not good.

Care to say the 12-byte serial number here? I'm not going to download/watch a video just looking for that.
