As fake dollar alarms are being raised, concerns about counterfeit currency have increased among banks, customers, and currency exchange offices in recent days. It is reported that counterfeit bills, estimated to be worth 600 million dollars, can even escape from ATMs and money counting machines. These dollars, which are said to be very difficult to distinguish from the real ones, are believed to have passed through money counting machines that have not been updated.

Currency exchange offices in the Grand Bazaar and across the country have raised alarms about counterfeit money. Some exchange offices in the Grand Bazaar have posted warning brochures in workplaces regarding banknotes that their money counting machines could not distinguish from real ones. The poster, which uses images of 100 and 50 dollar bills, states, "Due to the fakes in the market, the money in the visual will not be accepted."
