A warning from RCMP about counterfeit money being circulated in Moncton.

Over the past six weeks, police have received 31 reports of counterfeit $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills being used at stores.

They say some of the bills may have come from banks.

You can identify the bills by a few markings including, some are poor quality and are made of a different material.

They also have differences in sizes and shapes, and have five black, double bars on both sides of the bills.
