Steps you can take to help avoid accepting counterfeit money.

• In Australia, compare newer bank notes with older one you already have. Counterfeit bills can be thicker than legal bank notes.

• Possibly paper and not plastic like the newer notes are made of.

• Older bank paper notes are more difficult to detect. They need special lights to check them.
