SloveniaThe Maribor police reported three cases of suspected counterfeit money usage between Wednesday and Thursday. In one instance, a stranger altered a 20-euro bill at a restaurant, another involved altering a 20-euro bill at a gas station, and a third case involved altering 50-euro bills in a bank office. On Thursday, two additional cases were recorded, including a 100-euro bill altered at a restaurant and a 20-euro bill at a gas station. Authorities urge individuals handling cash to remain vigilant, avoid accepting potentially counterfeit notes, and report any suspicions immediately to the police or bank. They also provided a method for identifying counterfeit currency through 'touch-view-tilt' techniques, advising to check the paper’s firmness, watermarks, security thread, and color-shifting numbers.
