Directions for Financial Institutions

Suspected counterfeit bank notes identified at the financial institution's Central Cash Operations Centre should either be sent back to the police agency with primary jurisdiction or to the originating financial institution for proper disposition to that police agency. In such cases, it is imperative that this form be utilized and that the identity and address of the financial institution connected to the bank note be properly recorded. For bank notes received at the Central Cash Operations Centre where the source cannot be established, these bank notes should be forwarded to the police agency in that jurisdiction.
