Indonesian officials have warned about an increase in counterfeit money in circulation before holidays like Christmas, New Year and Idul Fitri or political events like regional elections. Officials said that this is caused because there would be an increase in people’s daily spends during this time period. They have asked everyone to be on alert and check if the currency is real before accepting money from anyone. They have also asked people to report any such malpractices immediately.
