Catch a Counterfeit

A fun exercise that will allow players to familiarize themselves with the new security features. The game also highlights some of the common faults found in counterfeit bills.

This multiple choice game will help children understand how the new security features work. It also brings to light some of the errors counterfeiters make when creating bogus bills.

How to Play:
Each of the three tools on the right side of the page highlights a different security feature. One of the bills in each series of three is a counterfeit and one of the tools will help expose the fake. Click on each tool and look closely at each bill until you’ve decided which one is the counterfeit bill. When you’ve made your decision, click on the white box to the right of the bill you’ve chosen to find out if you were correct!

To get started, click the button provided. Please note that the Catch a Counterfeit Feature requires the free Macromedia Flash Player TM.
