Wow, surprised someone was faking $20 TC!! Not much you could buy with $20! I guess the scammers thought that no one would look at them very closely, if they were only $20?? SXM does seem to have a pretty frequent problem with fake US currency too. Wonder where this stuff is coming from, as I can't imagine there is anyone on island good enough to make even a BAD counterfeit bill.
Carol that was our local bank that said there were a lot of counterfeit TC's. And one business on SXM said they weren't taking TC's in 20 denomination. We always brought $100's & $500's at at the time I thought the bank on SXM (near what's now Carrefour) didn't want to take them because they'd have to give out too much on hand cash. The the RB in P'Burg near police station refused them too.
