The State Bank of Viet Nam has set up an anti-counterfeit section to protect the value of currency and raise public awareness of how to recognise counterfeit money, according to a State Bank official.

 

The examination of counterfeit money is a regular activity of the bank, said Nguyen Quoc Toan, deputy director of the bank’s Department of Banknote Issuance and Treasury, but the establishment of a dedicated section would help specialise the work and improve its effectiveness.

 

The section would organise professional training courses for banking staff and guide other organisations and individuals on how to update information about and recognise counterfeit currency.
