Sub" fake notes circulating in Goa. I have also comes across a Rs 1000/- note looking exactly the same as original , but only the machine detects it seems . The bank employees also says that it is difficult even for them to say that the note genuine.I think this is a serious problem and who knows that if there are also of lower currency notes. The investigation by Police is necessary and they should proceed to the angle from foreigners side, who might be having sophisticated xerox machines which are being printed especially in North Goa. People and foreigners residing at Arambol must be investigated. Also we have nowadays sophisticated technology in printing in various Printing houses and shops who can do such printing of fake notes? This should be also investigated and close the establishment for ever if found guilty. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR THE PUBLIC TO CARRY WITH THEM THE CURRENCY NOTE CHECKING MACHINES. GOVERNMENT MUST SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS SERIOUS.
