Dear Editor,
Counterfeit is stirring in Guyana. I have detected this twice in my business while doing business transaction with customers.
Therefore, I urge business owners to check their money properly before collecting from customers. Please check for distinguishing marks or features that the real currency might have, such as the thousand dollar($1000), which has a macaw that can be detected when put close to the light. This feature distinguishes the real from fake.
The counterfeit money range from five hundred ($500) and bigger notes. Counterfeit money can cause nothing but a loss to businesses and is a crime.
Please report to the Police if you received large quantities of counterfeit money immediately.
Counterfeiting is the illegal reproduction of money, products, or services with the intent to deceive.
