On February 17, 2018 at approximately 1854 hours, I was dispatched to the Family Dollar located at 6670 Ridge RD Port Richey, FL in reference to a subject attempting to utter a counterfeit $20 bill. Upon my arrival, I made contact with Family Dollar employee, Katlyn Sue Edwards. Katlyn advised a W/M had entered the store at approximately 1833 hours and proceeded to her register. She advised the W/M selected a Milky-Way candy bar valued at $1.50 and proceeded to check out. She advised he handed her what appeared to be a $20.00 bill. She advised she realized the bill was counterfeit and told the W/M she had to hold onto the bill. Katlyn advised she apologized to the W/M and he responded, “it’s ok I’m just screwed.” She advised the W/M then exited the store. Katlyn described the W/M as being medium build with a …show more content…
Katlyn advised she realized the bill was not real because the texture of the paper. She advised she then checked for the “security thread” and realized the bill did not have one. She said she notified fellow Family Dollar employee, Kayla Renee Eaton. She advised Kayla then checked the bill with a counterfeit pen, which confirmed the bill was not real. The counterfeit bill was placed into evidence with a lab request to be forwarded to FDLE. I requested the bill be processed for any possible latent prints. Katlyn advised a check of her register revealed she had accepted another counterfeit bill with identical markings. She advised the bill was taken between 1800 hours and 1830 hours. She was sure of the time frame because her register had been emptied at approximately 1800 hours. Katlyn provided me with the counterfeit bill from the register, which was placed into evidence at PRPD. Katlyn provided me with a written statement, which was later attached to this
In furtherance of the conspiracy, the defendants made a series of purchases on the following dates. On November 23rd, 2013, defendant Gonzalez attempted to buy cartons of cigarettes that totaled 128 dollars via counterfeit access devices. On March 6, 2016, Gonzalez and Pierre-Charles drove to a convenience store and bought items totaling 527.26 dollars via the counterfeit access device. Following, on March 20th the defendants Durandis and Gonzalez traveled to another convenience store in Berks County, Pennsylvania making a purchase that totaled roughly 1,915.73 dollars via the use of the access devices (United States of America v. Robert Durandis, et al, 2014).

2) Frank A. Tassone; the former business manager, Pamela Gluckin; and an accounting clerk, Debra Rigano, who is a niece of Ms. Gluckin embezzled money in a scheme in which Dr. Tassone and Ms. Gluckin and nine of their family members and friends charged $5.9 million for personal items and cash advances on 74 personal credit cards. Then Ms. Gluckin and Dr. Tassone used district checks to pay those bills. The audit found that Dr. Tassone and
The Holmes County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation on Feb. 20, 2016, after being contacted by personnel at Dollar General.

Journal written by Robert G.Rulland from Northeastern University and Timothy S.Dauprik from Univesity of South Carolina discussed about the foreign currency translation and behaviour of exchange rate. Consequently, the first controversy is which translation method provides the most meaningful translation gains and losses, for example which method provides the most reasonable measure of the foreign entity's exposure to movements in exchange rates. The second controversy is whether translation gains and losses should be reported in the income statement or whether they should be deferred and shown in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet. Two major controversies exist in the translation of foreign currency financial statements is first which translation method should be used, and the second is how should the resulting translation gains and losses be reported. When items translated at current exchange rates, translation gains and losses result. Translation methods vary as, to which balance sheet items translated at current and which at historical exchange rates. This paper proposes two criteria for settling these questions which are based upon the actual pattern of exchange rates existing between the U.S. dollar and other currencies .It is argued that application of these criteria would result in a more objective and economically meaningful translation process than exists under current rules.
• The financial institution address listed on the front of the check should correspond to the Federal Reserve District for that institution. The first two numbers of the routing number in the MICR line indicates the Federal Reserve District where the institution is located. For example, the Federal Reserve District number in the routing number is 01 (Boston) but the financial institution address listed on the front of the check is San Francisco. This unreasonable relationship should raise suspicions that the item may be counterfeit.
Many tellers have assisted the Secret Service by detecting counterfeit currency when it is presented to them. The actual counterfeiter does not pass many counterfeits; rather they are “sold” to a “passer,” who will attempt to cash them. Rarely are counterfeits passed in a Credit Union; more often they are used at service stations, liquor stores or dimly lit lounges. These phony bills will then appear in a Member’s deposit, who will become the ultimate loser should you detect the bills as the phony bill must be retained. When detecting counterfeit, compare the suspected bill to a genuine bill of the same denomination and series year. Look for differences, not similarities.

For instance, I ate some cookies yestder Mexico issues pesos (which are essentially IOUs) to its citizens and repurchases them with U.S. dollars, euros, or other reserve currency around the world held by its central bank. Countries can also hold gold or other precious metals in their official reserves. I ate at the store and then went shopping. In this article, we will take a look at the history and future of reserve currencies, as well as how these currencies impact monetary policies around the

In the present day, the world's economy is ever-changing and adjusting. Many different reasons control the reasons for this. The future of currency is something that can only be predicted and is not guaranteed. However, there are many determing factors behind the changes that can take place. Asia and North America are two continents that have economies that have recently changed or are in the midst of change.
Monetary Policy and Nominal Exchange Rates 1. a) Federal Open Market Committee used to maintain a steady increase of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet based on a policy of quantitative easing, which involves buying a considerable amount of assets, in order to increase the money supply, but it decided to reduce the pace of new purchases of assets, as a reaction to the recent economic growth. With this policy, FED will
There are many factors involved and questions that can arise when it comes studying central banking and Foreign Exchange Markets. This paper will attempt to explain why the simultaneous targeting of the money supply and interest rate is at times impossible to achieve, ways in which Central Banks can intervene in Foreign Exchange Markets, and what the Britton Woods Agreement did to the ability of foreign exchange rates to fluctuate freely.
There has been a financial crisis across the world since currency came about. It started with the barter system which allowed people to trade goods and services, but this sometimes proved to be more difficult than beneficial. Then around 600 B.C., coins and currency came about. Since then currency went from being precious metals to paper money. With the development of currency, came international trade. “Banks and the ruling classes started buying currencies from other nations and created the first currency market. The stability of a particular monarchy or government affected the value of the country 's currency and the ability for that country to trade on an increasingly international market. The competition between countries often led to currency wars, where competing countries would try to affect the value of the competitor 's currency by driving it up and making the enemy 's goods too expensive, by driving it down and reducing the enemy 's buying power (and ability to pay for a war), or by eliminating the currency completely” (Beattie, 2007). Money gets its value by being a medium of exchange, a unit of measurement and a storehouse for wealth. Money allows people to trade goods and services indirectly and understand the price of goods. We can see the evidence of financial crisis throughout time with the “credit crisis of 2007-2008” and the “Russian Crisis of 1998” and its global impact. Although Russia was experiencing economic growth in 1997 “…the country’s fixed
In 1983, Richard Messe and Kenneth Rogoff famously tested myriad empirical exchange rate models (Messe and Rogoff 1983). To this time, three competing models of exchange rates existed: a flexible-price monetary model, a sticky-price monetary model, and a sticky-price monetary model with the current account incorporated. The main finding of their paper was that a random walk explained data better than any fundamentals-based model. I argue that the demonstrative reasoning used by these models fails to accommodate the true nature of exchange rates and prices. Further, I propose an analytical narrative framework would best capture the complex and interconnected nature of exchange rates. In this short paper, I explore the failure of price
