Creative counterfeiters are working hard to replicate the look of the newly-released $100 polymer bills. These fakes are already being widely circulated and the fear is that the busy Christmas Season will only escalate this problem.
However, according to Minister of National Security, Stuart Young, counterfeiters may get close to replicating the look of the new polymer bills, but they won’t be able to replicate the feel or the built-in security features. Unlike the former paper-based blue bills, the new bill is printed on plastic. A video was released a few days ago showing the differences between a fake $100 bill and the real one. The fraudulent bill shown in the video closely resembles the new bill but it is a different shade of blue. When held up to infrared light, the fake bill also lacks the security features of the real bill. According to Minister Young: The surfacing of a video on social media is not surprising but the counterfeit attempt is easily identifiable.
