He said genuine Canadian and US bills have raised serial numbers and portraits. All one had to do was to run one‘s fingernail across them to know they Were real. Phony bills don‘t have raised printing and feel flat, he said. Also, genuine curr- ency always had sharp por- ’raits and official seals, A few counterfeit Can- adian 550‘s turn up in bank deposits now and then, but Deputy Chief Robert Hood said that so far there haven't been any complaints of phony U.S. bills of any de- nomination. anche He said people stuck with a phony bill were obliged to turn them into the police when they knew they weren't genuine, or they ,could charged with possessxon.
