<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1360783, member: 19065&quot;]Thanks for that link NOS!</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with you that those who surrender counterfeit notes might, if not in violation of the currency law regarding such notes themselves, receive equal value reimbursement for the face value of the note surrendered. However, I don&#039;t follow your logic regarding not turning in low denomination notes. If there are one million counterfeit one dollar notes in circulation or 200,000 five dollar notes, or 10,000 one hundred dollar notes, it still amounts to a million dollars of fraudulent currency, and is all equally liable to conviction if the criminals are caught. As I said earlier, each counterfeit note reported, with details of when and where, helps build a profile for an investigation, or removes remaining fakes from those cases already closed but with extant notes in circulation. So there is no basis to justify your idea not to report lower denomination notes, and if going by your comments, you&#039;d be better off surrendering a $1 counterfeit note rather than a fake $100, as you&#039;d be loosing less money for taking the responsible course of action and alerting the authorities, and attempting to protect the merchants who came before you who effectively had merchandise stolen by use of counterfeit bills in the community. Be it a single $1 note or a single $100 note, the financial impact may be greater per transaction but there is no difference in severity of the crime committed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
