The counterfeit bills appear legitimate at a glance, however, some have the words “PROPS” printed onto them.

Detective Acting Inspector Aziz Melick stated this is part of a continued investigation into fake currency that has been appearing across northern Tasmania.

“Police remind the community that it is an offence to possess, buy, sell and use counterfeit money,” Melick said.

Police are urging Australians to check the legitimacy of their cash and to contact police if they find counterfeit cash.
