Warning over counterfeit £10 notes in Hastings - here's how to spot them
A warning has been issued in Hastings over fake £10 notes circulating in the town.
Hastings Borough Council issued the warning to people to check their money while out shopping.
The council, on its Facebook page, said: “We are aware of fake £10 notes that have been used in shops in Hastings, please be aware if you are using cash and make sure you check change for anything that looks unusual.
“The general quality seems good, but things to look out for are incorrect cashier signatures, it should be Sarah John, but the fake has Victoria Cleland (whose signature was on the older Queen Elizabeth II notes). HB14692104 is the fake serial number, and there is a very faint word 'copy' printed under this number.
“If you find any fake notes, please take them to the nearest police station where you will be provided with a receipt and incident number.”
