The crime of counterfeiting currency is as old as money itself. Don’t let counterfeiting hurt our customers and the Postal Service’s™ bottom line. Recent developments in computer and printer technology have made the production of counterfeit currency and money orders relatively easy, thereby increasing the potential threat every day.
The Eastern Services CMC — Windsor and our strategic partner for office supplies, OfficeMax, have the solution: the Counterfeit Detector System, eBuy Item No. A41620300. The system activates UV ink found on any US currency, money orders, credit cards, driver’s licenses, traveler’s checks, and other UV-impregnated items. Best of all, for the months of June and July, OfficeMax has lowered the price to $31.95 each with next-day delivery.
Remember to follow the USPS® guidelines in Publication 348, Window Services Crime Prevention Booklet, when confronted with phony or altered currency. You can find that booklet at http://blue.usps.gov/cpim/ftp/pubs/pub348.pdf.
The counterfeit currency detectors are available under the OfficeMax eBuy catalog or by calling direct at 888–229–8777.
