Laos’ central bank, the Bank of the Lao PDR (BOL), has warned the public to be aware of the circulation of counterfeit banknotes.
The BOL issued a notice urging the public to be cautious against fake notes after the distribution of counterfeit 50,000-kip notes of the 2004 edition was detected in the northern part of Laos, local media reports on Tuesday.
The BOL also asked the public to provide further information if any suspicious cases are found.
People can report the detection of forged notes at various commercial banks nationwide.
