Counterfeit $50 and $100 notes being used the Kapiti and Mana area

The Team from Wellington District Police

Police have seen an increase in counterfeit $50 and $100 notes being used the Kapiti and Mana area.

We would like to warn retailers and those accepting cash to be extra wary of counterfeit cash, and to educate themselves on how to identify counterfeit money.

If you believe someone is trying to pass you a counterfeit note, do not accept it.

If you find you have already received a counterfeit note, put it in an envelope to avoid handling it further and get in touch with Police.
You can contact Police online or by phone via 105, or you can provide information anonymously through Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand has a clear guide outlining security features of New Zealand bank notes and how to spot counterfeit notes
