The Durham Regional Police fraud squad is advising the public to' be aware of counterf'eit bank notes., A large number of these notes have recently been passed throughout the south end of Durham Region, usually through sinail retail outlets. In the first three months of 1993, police had 23 separate cases. In the saine period of1994, there were 100 incidente. During April 1994, 412 counterfeit bis were passed, 14 of which were U.S. Some of the bis appear te be brand new and others are well worn. A common feature is that the paper quality is not as good as real currency. The red and blue security fibres normally present in bonafide currency 'have been reproduced on the face of counterfeit notes by using ink. If the red or blue fibres cari b. ifted in whole from theapr, the bank note is probably good. If however, the Uines cnbe removed from the paper by scratching, they are probably mechanucal reproductions. A number of styles are waxy and smocoth to the touch. A real bilil will have raised printing in several areas. In addition to the Amrerican $20 batik notes currently in circulation, there have been a number of counterfeit $20 and $100 Canadian bank notes passed. Most of the $20 and ail of the $100 denomination notes are being produced by the bubble-jet prînter process. Durham Region's first 'Focus on Wellness Symposium' wiil be held at the Holiday Inn in Osh- awa on Sunday, May 15, 9 a.m. to6 p.m. Alternative health care profes- sionals from the region will share their expertise on the field of holistic health care.

Careful attention~ should also be given to the. curved lines immediaÏ4ly to the left of the Queen's head. These limes are not perfect as in a real bank note.
