Police warn, beware of forged money!

The police have established that criminals pay with forged money at market stalls, etc, where it is very difficult to establish whether money is real or not, as traders often do not have fake money detectors. The police have found that much of the fake money is small denomination banknotes which discourage the  public from reporting incidents. The public need to be alert, as if you end up with forged banknote(s) and try to use them - even accidentally - you could easily find yourself accused of a crime. Even if you do not end with the maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, you may end up enjoying prison food over the festive season! (Polish Radio)
