Touch and tilt
Posted by Stephen Rhodes
Manny Parriera provided a great 'interactive' presentation on counterfeit money and challenged Rotarians to guess the real money from the fake stuff at Monday's meeting.
His advice, take your time, examine each bill and touch and tilt, looking for the halogram and feeling for raised lettering.
Manny was appointed Senior Analyst for the Bank of Canada's Ontario Regional Office in July 2002. In this capacity, he promotes the Bank across Ontario and delivers its products and services to key stakeholders. He builds and maintains relationships with financial and business communities, law enforcement and government agencies, educational institutions and the general public, who have a vested interest in currency.
In co-operation with private sector partners, he is responsible for overseeing and monitoring the Bank Note Distribution System.
