Appendix No. 2 to Article 18, paragraph 1: Protocol for Retaining Banknotes or Coins Suspected as Counterfeit
The Bulgarian National Bank issued this protocol to standardize the procedure for retaining banknotes or coins suspected of being counterfeit. The document requires officials to record detailed identification information, including the holder's personal data and the specific circumstances under which the suspicious currency was identified. It also provides a mechanism for the holder to request a technical authenticity examination by the central bank and instructions for crediting funds if the currency is proven genuine.
