How to Spot Fake Currency 🕵️♂️ Feel the Paper: Fake money often lacks the crisp texture and raised feel of genuine bills. 💡 Check the Watermark: Hold the bill up to the light. The watermark should be visible on the right side. If it’s missing or visible without light, it’s likely counterfeit. 🔍 Look for Raised Printing: Run your fingernail over the note. Genuine bills have raised printing that creates resistance and vibrations. 🔴🔵 Inspect the Fibers: Real money is made of cotton and linen with embedded red and blue fibers. These should not be printed or drawn on. 🔒 Find the Plastic Strip: Look for a plastic strip running from top to bottom. This applies to most bills except $1 and $2. If you suspect you have received a counterfeit bill, Place it in an envelope, handle it as little as possible and contact your local law enforcement. For more information on identifying and reporting counterfeit bills, visit the Secret Service website and check out this guide: https://lnkd.in/gae8NbwK.

Let's be aware! School Buses hit the roads this week. As school buses return to our roads, let’s ensure the safety of our children. Remember, school buses are the safest way for kids to travel, but the most dangerous part is getting on and off the bus. The “Danger Zone” is a 10-foot area around the bus where the driver may not see a child. Important: It’s illegal to pass a school bus with its red stop-arm extended in Illinois. Bus Warning: Flashing yellow lights mean the bus is preparing to stop. Slow down and get ready to stop. Red lights and an extended stop arm mean the bus has stopped and kids are getting on or off. Laws: • Two-lane roadway: Stop at least 20 feet away from a stopped school bus. • One-way roadway: All lanes must stop when a bus stops. • Four or more lanes: Only stop if you’re traveling in the same direction as the bus. • Railroad crossings: Buses must stop. If you’re behind the bus, don’t pass within 100 feet of the crossing. Penalties for Passing a School Bus: First Offense: $300 fine + 3-month license suspension. Second Offense (within 5 years): $1,000 fine + 1-year license suspension. Note: This can also affect your insurance premiums. Resuming Driving: You can resume driving once the bus moves, the lights are off, the stop arm is retracted, or the driver signals you to go. Let’s all stay patient and aware to keep our kids safe!
