Counterfeit money in the Albion area

Student Accounting has been notified that counterfiet money has been circulating in the area including on campus.

There are a few ways you can determine if the cash you are carrying might be a counterfeit bill:

• Currency $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 all have a watermark and a security strip. When you hold the currency up into the light you will see these features.
• If you have access to a Counterfeit Currency Pen the mark will appear yellow, if brown/black the currency is not real. This will work on all currencies.
• If the bill on the front states is is a “replica and for motion picture use only” and/or the back says “This is a replica”.

If you find that you may have counterfeit currency you may take it to any local bank and/or to student accounting. Please note: Student Account will not replace the currency or take criminal action.

If you have further questions or concerns please contact Student Accounting at 517 629 0507 or Accounting@albion.edu.

Thank you and stay safe Brits.
