Alles über Falschgeld Finance Flash – Folge 3
31.03.2025 No English translation available
Im vergangenen Jahr gab es wieder mehr Falschgeld in Deutschland. Ein Großteil der Fälschungen sind jedoch leicht erkennbar, weil sie den Aufdruck Crop Money oder Movie Money haben. Doch sind längst nicht alle Fälschungen so leicht zu erkennen. Was tun, wenn man denkt, dass Geld gefälscht ist? In der neuen Folge Finance Flash erklärt Yannick, was bei verdächtigen Scheinen zu tun ist und wie Bargeld ganz leicht selbst zu überprüfen ist. In „Wahr oder Falsch“ kann mitgeraten werden, woran Falschgeld zu erkennen ist. Außerdem fragt sich Yannick, was passieren würde, wenn plötzlich sehr viel Falschgeld im Umlauf wäre.

More counterfeit banknotes in circulation
In the period from January to June 2024, the Bundesbank removed significantly more counterfeit money from circulation in Germany than in the six months prior, detecting around 38,600 counterfeit euro banknotes with a nominal value of €2.4 million. This was 29% more than in the second half of 2023. Meanwhile, the total loss arising from counterfeit banknotes was only slightly up, by just under 5%.
The increase was driven by easily identifiable counterfeits, especially of €10 and €20 banknotes,
said Burkhard Balz, the Bundesbank’s Executive Board member whose remit includes cash management. -

Considerably more counterfeits in circulation Increase primarily in counterfeit €200 and €500 banknotes
In 2023, the Bundesbank registered more counterfeit money in Germany than in the previous year. In total, there were around 56,600 counterfeit euro banknotes with a nominal value of €5.1 million. “The increase in counterfeit figures was driven by a handful of major cases of fraud, predominantly involving counterfeit €200 and €500 banknotes,” stated Bundesbank Executive Board member Burkhard Balz. Overall, the incidence of counterfeiting is still low and the risk to members of the public remains small, he said.
