If you receive a suspected counterfeit bill who can you call to check the bill serial numbers?
The best policy is never to accept a bill that you are not sure is genuine. Report suspicious bills or individuals to police. Most locations that accept large bills will test them with chemical pens that react with the paper used in phony bills. The detection of most counterfeit bills si not by serial number, but by the construction of the bill. Banks can provide you with a list of the security features on currency. The US Secret Service (now part of Homeland Security) is nominally the agency which investigates counterfeiting, although agencies such as the Treasury Department and the FBI maintain their own departments for the crime.

The goal is to identify inconsistencies and anomalies that would indicate a counterfeit bill.
