The Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago is advising citizens that they have confirmed with their printers that there was a misprint on a few (less than 100) $20 notes currently in circulation. This misprint shows up as one side of the note being blank for the most part. The Bank wishes to assure that the particular notes in question are valid legal tender and should be brought in to the Central Bank to be exchanged. They also wish to remind the public of the need to be vigilant in recognising genuine banknotes. Businessman Gary Aboud first brought attention to the one-sided $20 note earlier this week via a viral video on Social Media. He said he received a stack of $20 notes from a particular commercial bank and the money was sent through to payroll for salaries. It was then the defective notes were discovered. Aboud questioned why the Central Bank waited until now to inform the public about the “faulty money.” He said it is insensitive for the Central Bank to now ask people to travel “all the way” to Port-of-Spain to change the notes. See Aboud’s comments to the Trinidad Express below. We sent it back to the bank. The money came from Central Bank with a band on it but the bank wouldn't take it back from us. I'm not going to call the bank to embarrass them, but how many poor people this is happening to who have been receiving monies in either ATMs etc and the bank wouldn't take it back.
