When You Encounter Suspected Counterfeits
  • Stay Calm and Professional: Politely explain that you need to verify the note's authenticity before completing the transaction.
  • Document the Source: Mental note of where and from whom you received suspicious currency for potential reporting.
  • Report Appropriately: Contact your bank or the nearest CBN branch to report counterfeit currency and help protect other Nigerians.
  • Don't Accept Pressure: Legitimate businesses understand the need for naira verification and won't rush you through the currency inspection process.
