Since the beginning of December 2018 more and more counterfeit 100 Swiss franc notes have been appearing in the Swiss canton of Valais in and around Sion and Conthey.

The fake notes, which the local Police say can be spotted if compared to real ones, have been making their way into circulation via shopping centres, kiosks and service stations in the Sion and Conthey region.
Counterfeiting is rare in Switzerland because Swiss notes are virtually impossible to recreate.
The Police recommend comparing suspicious notes to real ones and contacting them immediately on 027 326 56 56.
