counterfeit

Toll collectors at some plazas of Florida's Turnpike Enterprise are recording the license plates of all drivers who tender $20 and larger denomination bills. The Turnpike has been collecting a number of high quality counterfeits that aren't immediately caught as bogus.

Toll collectors are under instructions to record license plates of all vehicles of motorists tendering high denomination notes - either to catch offenders or deter them.

The procedure has been reducing plaza throughput somewhat.
