On January 15, a person attended to the Drumheller Dragons game and passed a counterfeit $20 bill (old version). The person passing it may not have known they passed a counterfeit bill. The bill looked authentic at a quick glance, but the reflective portions on the bill, water marks, etc. were not present. The bill was slightly smaller when compared to a real bill. The serial number on this bill is AUG9595500.
There is no doubt that this is a photocopy of a real $20 bill. It is suspected that the person(s) responsible did not just make one of these bills.
It is suggested that everyone should pay close attention to the bills that they receive and look for the safety features of the specific currency. Should you find / receive a counterfeit bill you must turn it into the Police. Should you have any questions or concerns associated to currency please attend to the Drumheller detachment and we will assist you.
Should you have any information associated to identifying the person or persons responsible, please contact Drumheller RCMP at 403-823-7590.
