The Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice (TTPS) is warn­ing all busi­ness­es to be­ware of a coun­ter­feit $100 bill that has been cir­cu­lat­ing with­in re­cent days.

In an alert is­sued to­day, the TTPS stat­ed:

“There are per­sons al­ready out there seek­ing to turn T&T’s new $100 notes in­to coun­ter­feit dol­lars.”

"Dur­ing this Christ­mas sea­son, these notes will be cir­cu­lat­ed as per­sons go about their shop­ping," the TTPS said.

The alert added that cit­i­zens must pay at­ten­tion to spe­cial fea­tures on the bills, as well as their qual­i­ty and tex­ture.

“Take note: the clear plas­tic win­dow can­not be re­pro­duced on pa­per.  Please check for the clear plas­tic win­dow and be alert to re­ject any oth­er win­dow—white, or murky—which is how the coun­ter­feit will be iden­ti­fied and de­feat­ed,” the TTPS ad­vi­so­ry rec­om­mend­ed.
