The Central Bank of Solomon Islands (CBSI) is warning the public to look out for fake $100 bills.
CBSI's Currency Unit Supervisor, Enoch Ilisia stated that the bank was alerted by a former Central Bank officer who saw the counterfeit $100 note in one of the shops opposite of the main market.
The counterfeit note was believed to have originated from one of the Central Market's lock-up shops.
Usually targeted are the innocent night service providers like the market vendors, public transports and the night shops.
This has been the sixty-third incident of counterfeiting in the Solomon Islands.
The first counterfeit notes were $50 notes which surfaced in Honiara in 1994.
The CBSI bank has advised people to be more aware when they are presented with $100 notes.
Counterfeit Notes Circulates Again
Much to the frustration of many people, the counterfeit notes are circulating the country, yet again.
