Fraud Prevention

The students learned to identify the characteristics of the legal bill as well as to detect the indicators of illegal or counterfeit bills. They were able to experiment with the differences between a false and genuine bill in groups of 2 or 3 students using an electronic detector. They learned about real cases of falsification of bills and those which were taken out of circulation such as the C series G. 50,000 bill. Additionally, they received advice and suggestions regarding the use of credit cards. This subject has been of great educational value, not only for the sporting event of the interescolar, where many students are working as cashiers, whether at the gate or in the canteen, but also for their internship at the end of this year, where a student might been in charge of the cash box of the company. It was a valuable topic for their daily transactions as well. The students mentioned their appreciation of and preference for workshops in which they actively participate.
