Keep a closer eye on your cash.
Receiving counterfeit cash is unfortunate and inconvenient, but because these bills are illegal,counterfeit money is a bit more concerning. To avoid landing yourself in hot water, police are asking that you look for specific writing on $20 bills.

According to police, these bills have"COPY MONEY" printed on the front of the bill, on the top left corner, as well as printed vertically on the reverse side of the bill. But while the writing is clear as day in photos posted by police in the PSA, authorities warn that this isn't always the case, and some counterfeit bills might not have this giveaway printed on them.characteristics of each banknoteOn the $20 bill, there are three main things you can look for, including the security thread, which is located directly to the left ofshoulder.
When held up to the light, you should also check for"a faint image of President Jackson" on the right side of the portrait in the blank space. You can again see this on both sides of the note. The third key identifier is the bill's color-shifting ink. To check for this, tilt the note and you should see the numeral 20, located on the bottom right corner, shift from a copper color to green.
