THERE'S A NEW BREED OF COUNTERFEIT IN CIRCULATION - AND IT'S SO GOOD IT'S HARD TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FAKE AND THE REAL THING. THE CURRENCY FIRST APPEARED TWO WEEKS AGO - AND HAS EXPERTS AT THE CENTRAL BANK SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS. IT FAITHFULLY DEPICTS THE SLEEPING GIANT WATERMARK - WHICH UNTIL NOW WAS THOUGHT TO BE THE ULTIMATE TEST FOR A GENUINE BILL. IT ALSO HAS THE TRADEMARK SILVER THREAD EMBEDDED INTO THE PAPER. EACH IS A MASTERPEICE - AND ONE MAN WHO'S UNWITTINGLY BECOME THE OWNER OF A BUNCH OF THEM IS RAMON GALVEZ - THE OWNER OF THE MJ'S GRAND NIGHTCLUB. HE TOOK IN 190 DOLLARS IN FAKE BILLS LAST WEEK AT HIS CLUB - AND SAYS THEY ARE THAT GOOD:.. Mario Galvez, Owner, MJ's Grand "The shade of the money noh, it has a little of blur in it. But the money has the head in it has the line, so you really have to look for the serial numbers. This money is much better than the counterfeit which used to circulate first. This is, is very good, it has the jade head in it and it has the line. So if you really go to see just the jade had and the line, you're gonna get messed up definitely. The best way to look for counterfeit money is with a black light. The real money has 10 dollar on it and a bird the fake money doesn't. So you really have to look at it, because the counterfeit is good, it's very good." WE ALSO VISITED WITH THE EXPERTS AT THE CENTRAL AND TOMORROW THEY'LL TELL YOU HOW TO AVOID BEING CAUGHT WITH A FAKE BILL...
