Fake cash is flooding Scotland with the value of counterfeit notes now at record level
  • An astonishing 171,593 forged notes pulled out of circulation last year
  • Over £5million worth of illegal money confiscated in Scotland
  • Businesses warn it is the consumer who'll foot the bill for illicit tender



Forgeries of £20 and £50 notes have shot up, according to the latest figures
from the Committee of Scottish Bankers (CSB), and make up the majority of
the 171,593 fraudulent notes taken out of circulation last year.
