The 5 1000 yuan counterfeit banknotes of < p > > a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > Hongkong < /a > were discovered by the bank. The Hongkong police reminded the public to beware of a highly simulated version of the 2003 edition of the Bank of China (Hongkong) 1000 Hong Kong dollar counterfeit banknote, which is divided into Bank of China Tower and Hongkong Convention and Exhibition Center as the design theme. It is reported that this is the first time that Hongkong has seen such new varieties of counterfeit banknotes.

< /p >

< p > it is understood that after the Hongkong counterfeit currency storm in 2007, the police and the whole bank of Hong Kong were once again on alert, hoping to cut off the circulation of counterfeit banknotes and invade the banking system from the public and < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_f.asp" > Bank < /a >.

< /p >

< p > Li Dazhi, assistant director of monetary management of the Hongkong monetary authority, said that banknotes entered the banking system mainly through cash registers and counter services. The HKMA would require banks to strengthen staff training and strengthen the ability to identify cash registers.

< /p >

< p > Zheng Jiawei, chief inspector of the Hongkong Commercial Crime Bureau, revealed that the 5 counterfeit thousand dollar bills seized were different from the counterfeit banknotes that had been seized in the past. They were higher than the past simulation methods, with a similarity of nearly 80%, but the police said that the public could only distinguish the authenticity from the 5 details, such as pattern, watermark, and fluorescent bar code, as long as they carefully observed.

< p > yesterday coincided with the < a href= "http://fz.sjfzxm.com/" > Christmas < /a > Holiday. It was normal to spend a thousand yuan on a high-end Christmas shop or a family for a Christmas dinner, but the boss said it was hard to refuse the new counterfeit money that appeared on the market.

Su boss, who sells dried seafood at Tsim Sha Tsui, said that it was difficult to refuse thousands of yuan bills because of its high value, but would encourage customers to pay by credit card to reduce risks.

There is also a pharmacy owner said, "our shop is not convenient to credit card, sometimes customers only have a thousand dollar bills, do not they do business?" < /p >

< p > and on the eleventh winter food festival, which was opened yesterday, the owner said that in order to obtain insurance, no matter how much food the customers bought, 1000 yuan bills would be rejected.

But there are also stall owners, who are fully prepared to check the money clearly, and pay special attention to the 2003 Bank of China's 1000 dollar bill.

< /p >

< p > people can still tell the truth by hand and experience, but the machine is not so smart.

Yesterday, when the reporter visited, he found that banks such as Bank of China (Hongkong), HSBC, Hang Seng, Standard Chartered, pportation and Citigroup had taken action in time, and posted notices on most of the a href= "http://pop.sjfzxm.com/popimg/fz/index.aspx" A T M /a /a deposit machine, which did not accept the 1000 yuan note of Bank of China in 2003.

It was reported by the public that yesterday it was not successful to deposit 1000 yuan banknotes in several other years of the Bank of China through the Bank of East Asia's A T M.

< /p >

< p > for this reason, the Hongkong Monetary Authority said that the 900 banknote machines on the market may not recognize the counterfeit banknotes of new varieties, and do not exclude that some of the banknote machines have received counterfeit banknotes, so they need to be temporarily suspended and re adjusted.

During the period of adjustment, there will be a short period of service failure. If the public needs to deposit a thousand yuan notes, they can go to the counter.

But the other 1000 dollar notes and other denominations of the other note issuing banks will not be affected.

< p > < strong > Hong Kong seized 3011 counterfeit banknotes < /strong > /p last year.

< p > < strong > each 1 million banknotes only 1.4 counterfeit notes < /strong > /p >

< p > according to the data of the Hongkong monetary authority, there are 190 million pieces of 1000 yuan banknotes circulated in Hong Kong. Among them, there are about 70 million copies issued by Hongkong, China, which account for almost half of the 2010 edition in 2003, while the 2010 version of the new banknotes has not found any counterfeit banknotes since there are many new anti-counterfeiting features.

< /p >

< p > the Hongkong police business crime bureau said that it was closely monitoring the situation and actively investigating the source of counterfeit banknotes.

The Hongkong police emphasized that Hongkong's counterfeit banknotes were not serious. Only 1.4 counterfeit banknotes were found in every 1 million banknotes. In the first 10 months of this year, 2477 counterfeit banknotes were seized by the police, and 3011 counterfeit banknotes were seized last year.

< /p >

< p > Hongkong police appealed that if the public found or received suspected counterfeit banknotes, they should seek assistance from the nearest bank or < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" > police station < /a >. Do not attempt to use counterfeit banknotes again. Otherwise, they may commit the crime of "counterfeiting paper money" and have a maximum prison term of 14 years.
