A northern NSW petrol station has issued a warning to its clients after a near-perfect pretend $50 word was used there over the weekend.
The Shell Chinderah Bay posted concerning the word on their Facebook web page on Monday.
“Be wary as there are fake notes in circulation. We had one come through this weekend,” the put up stated.
The put up notes most of the security measures current on a reputable $50 word have been replicated.
“Incredibly they have replicated the window and the seven point star on the bottom left of the window.
“The only thing they couldn’t replicate is the ultra violet serial number. It doesn’t light up under a blue light.”
Accompanying the put up is an image of the pretend word and an actual $50 invoice, asking folks to guess which one they suppose is the pretend.
“It was not noticed at the counter and the only reason our assistant manager was later alerted, was due to the slightly brighter colour,” an up to date put up on Tuesday stated.
“To clarify he did not pick up on the texture. He scrunched it up and a little of the ink came off and then tried the blue light.”
The business says they’ll be handing the word in to police because the matter turns into a federal investigation.
Chinderah is a city close to Tweed Heads close to the NSW-Queensland border.
The Reserve Bank of Australia has a web based information to assist with detecting counterfeit forex.
It consists of holding a word as much as gentle to see the seven-pointed star and coat-of-arms, tilting the word to see options shifting, and shining it below a UV gentle to see sure options gentle up.
