Up the River Murray and police are investigating reports of counterfeit $50 notes being used to purchase goods.
Last week two counterfeit $50 notes were used at two Riverland businesses.
The fakes are slightly smaller in size than legitimate notes, have no holograms on the southern cross, and are brighter in colour.

Police urge business owners and retail staff to be vigilant when receiving cash, and also urge consumers to take a little extra time to check their notes when making purchases and receiving change.
To determine if a suspect note is counterfeit, it is best to compare it with a note that is known to be genuine.
If you suspect you have a counterfeit note, report it to the police assistance line on 131 444.
