Facts
During 2005 the number of counterfeit Bank of England banknotes taken out of circulation was around 505,000. Counterfeit banknotes are usually taken out of circulation when the public or retailers hand them into the police or banks, or when the banking system itself separates them from genuine banknotes.
The amount of Counterfeit Notes increased by about 53% from the previous year. The total ‘face value’ of counterfeits increased as well, to just over £10mn, an increase of over 60% on 2004 figures |
