Wednesday, 31 July 2013 00:00

A fake batch of counterfeit Manx £20 notes are in circulation on the Island.

Police are warning retailers and members of the public to look out for the notes which they say are printed on inferior quality paper.

On some notes there is a visible black vertical line down the right hand edge of the note and police say the edges are not cut uniformly.

Anyone who is passed one of the counterfeit notes is asked to contact Police Headquarters on 631212.
