Counterfeit €50 Note.
Businesses in Thurles are being warned to look out for counterfeit money especially €50 notes which are currently in circulation.
Thurles has been the main target for the €50 notes, but Nenagh and Cashel has also been targeted.
Gardaí state that the counterfeit money is not of good quality, but can pass easily in low light conditions such as nightclubs and pubs.
It is understood that the serial numbers on the notes start with the letter V and when held up to the light, the strip is not as pronounced as would be in the genuine note.
Businesses are requested to use scanners on all notes and to be extremely vigilant.
Customers who recieve €50 notes in change from purchases made are also requested to check carefully.
