  EURO BANKNOTE AND COIN COUNTERFEITS
  

  According to a report from Rome October 20, "During the first
  half of 2005 the finance ministry reports a 20.21 pc increase in
  reported euro banknote ad coin fakes YOY. The 50 euro banknotes
  are a prime choice for forgers, but quite surprisingly there has been
  a surge in false 50 cent coins."
  

  "The majority of false banknotes were taken off the market in north
  and central Italy. The 50 euro banknote accounts for 75.55 pc of
  the forged market total worth (2,224,250 euro). Counter to 2003-04
  statistics forgers have shifted their interest from 1 and 2 euro coins
  towards 50 cent coins."
