What to do with fake?
People do not always know what to do if a counterfeit bill is caught. There is a certain procedure that must be followed.
First, you should not try to get rid of counterfeit money in a store or other institution. This is dangerous because a person may be suspected of counterfeiting, and such actions face criminal punishment.

Experts recommend in doubtful cases to contact bank employees. After verification, the money will be returned or transferred to a bank account.
But, if the bill turned out to be counterfeit, its value will not be reimbursed.
Another correct option is to contact the police. Employees of the department should be told about the circumstances of receiving suspicious banknotes. The banknotes will be sent for examination, and if a fake is confirmed, an investigation will be launched. Compensation for damages in such a situation is possible, but not guaranteed.
