COUNTERFEITERS are passing €300 notes in Europe — worth £214 each — even though the denomination doesn't exist. The fraudsters are making millions from people still struggling to understand the new currency. Christa Randzio-Plathof, head of the European Parliament's economic committee, said: "They are not only faking the current denominations but are introducing non-existing notes. "It beggars belief that counterfeiters have replicated euro notes so quickly efficiently, given the supposedly fake-proof security features." (The Sun 19 Aug 2003 )
