Vernon RCMP Warn of Counterfeit Canadian and U.S. Currency in the Area
- Since May 2025, Vernon RCMP have received reports of counterfeit Canadian and U.S. currency circulating at local businesses.
- These incidents arose partly because Canadian and U.S. bills differ in material and security features, requiring businesses to recognize these distinctions.
- Police advise staff to examine each bill's unique serial number, feel the bill’s material, and use UV scanners or counterfeit pens to identify fakes.
- Chris Terleski highlighted that counterfeit money can lead to financial harm and urged the community and local enterprises to remain vigilant and exercise caution when handling cash transactions.
- The RCMP urge refusing suspicious bills politely, reporting incidents to police, and considering ID checks for large denominations to reduce counterfeit risks.
