Could you spot a counterfeit banknote?
Counterfeit banknotes $100, $50, and $20 denominations are circulating throughout the Ipswich Police District.
Police are advising that if you have a banknote that looks not quite right, below are some ways to check a range of features that would advise the money in your hand may be a counterfeit.
Police urge businesses and customers alike to make themselves familiar with how to detect a counterfeit note.
The Reserve Bank of Australia has produced a guide to assist people in detecting counterfeit notes.
Click here to view the RBA’s counterfeit detection guide.
It can be useful to compare a suspect banknote with one you know is genuine and look for differences; all Australian banknotes have similar security features, though their location can vary on the banknote.
If the banknote in your possession is suspect and a possible counterfeit then:
Handle the suspect banknote as little as possible and store it in an envelope

Police advise that residents should secure their homes and vehicles to avoid opportunistic thefts.
In the past, many vehicles have been taken while the victims were at home.
Keys, mobile phones and cash were also stolen after thieves allegedly gained entry to homes and easily located car keys in plain view.
Hiding car keys and valuables will make it difficult for offenders to steal your vehicle and other property.
Ask yourself, “where are my car keys?”
If you can, secure your car in a garage or park your vehicle inside of your yard rather than on the street. This will also assist in the prevention of number plates being stolen.
If you have information for police, contact Policelink on 131 444 or provide information using the online form 24hrs per day.
