Police say there have been over 20 cases of small business owners accepting the fake bills this year.
"Small business owners should be aware that these bills are being circulated and contact the Police if anyone attempts to provide them as payment," police say in a news release. "These are poor quality bills that should be detected as counterfeit after basic examination."
