How exactly do you prevent counterfeit money?
First of all, we should pay attention to establishing an anti-counterfeiting awareness. In daily life, especially when conducting cash transactions on occasions such as hawkers, farmers' markets, and mobile vendors, be vigilant and carefully compare and check the currency received to prevent miscollection. When making large-value transactions, try to choose non-cash methods such as bank cards and transfer payments to reduce the chance of mispayment.
The second is to master the skills of recognizing fakes. Understand and master the main anti-counterfeiting measures and characteristics of RMB, and master the necessary identification skills. For example, the uniqueness of the serial number, the color-changing principle of photo-changing ink, Braille and concave and convex sense, yin and yang complementary printing, etc.
What should I do if I find a counterfeit coin?
1. If the counterfeit currency is received by mistake, it should not be used again, and it should be handed over to the local bank or public security organ;
2. If you see someone else holding a large amount of counterfeit money, you should persuade them to hand it over or report it to the public security organ;
3. If someone is found to have made or bought or sold counterfeit money, he should have the evidence and report it to the public security organ.
Everyone must keep their eyes open and carefully identify
Criminals are not given any chance
If you accidentally receive counterfeit money
Please hand it over to the bank or public security organ as soon as possible
