Alarm over fake dollars

Old suspicions return: Were they produced in Iraq? Panic among banks and private companies The fake 100-dollar bill is not detected even by control devices TIRANE - The differences between real and fake 100-dollar bills are very few. So far, 40,000-50,000 fake dollars have been distributed. Some time ago, such banknotes were also circulating in Albania. In total, the amount is estimated at 800,000 to one million fake dollars in circulation. This new alarm was issued yesterday by the National Commercial Bank for all second-tier banks. On the one hand, the equipment does not distinguish the fake banknote from the real one; on the other hand, the serial number and quality are precisely the points that should be checked. Both signs are also present on the genuine bills. 'The first suspicions are that these banknotes were produced in Iraq'. Reserved sources within the Bank of Albania state that they strongly suspect the fake dollars entered through Kosovo. [reading partly unclear in several lines] On page 7 Photo of a 100-dollar bill.
