What should you do after identifying a counterfeit bill?

After identifying a counterfeit bill, the proper action is to notify your supervisor. This step is crucial because the supervisor is typically trained and equipped to handle such situations according to the established protocols of the USPS. They will be able to initiate the appropriate measures, such as documenting the incident, checking for any similar counterfeit bills in circulation, and reporting the counterfeit to law enforcement or the appropriate financial authorities.

Taking this route ensures that the organization maintains its integrity and adheres to legal requirements surrounding counterfeit currency. Additionally, involving a supervisor helps to protect employees from potential liability and provides a clear procedure for managing the situation appropriately.
