garda_1GARDAí are asking members of the public to be on the lookout for fake €20 notes around the county and in Tralee.

They are asking people to check their change to see if they turn up and have given tips on how to spot a genuine note.

• Hold the note against a bright light source; the denomination number in the top left corner in the should be fully visible and perfectly formed.

• Look at the colour shifting ink on the reverse side of high value notes. The value numeral looks purple when viewed straight on but appears olive green or brown when viewed at an angle.

• On the reverse of low value notes (€5, €10 and €20) look for the iridescent stripe that shines against bright light.

• You can also see the security thread embedded in the genuine note. If you hold the bank note against a bright light you can see the watermark and security thread on the note.

If you come across a fake note, contact the Gardaí on 066-7102300.
