Both the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary and RCMP have confirmed the use of counterfeit money on the west coast.
RNC were called Tuesday afternoon after a counterfeit $100 bill was used to pay for a meal at a restaurant on Maple Valley Road.
Meanwhile, Bay St. George RCMP are getting reports about fake $100 and $20 bills used on Facebook Marketplace, and at local businesses.
Police say the bills had the same serial number and the reflective portrait element was a sticker that could be peeled away.
Businesses are being encouraged to check all currency before accepting payment and to report all suspicious activity.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the RNC, RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
