The Romanian police have warned of an ongoing scam where individuals are using outdated methods from the 1990s to deceive people into exchanging large banknotes, specifically 500 lei notes, for smaller ones. A man has been reported to have tricked multiple vendors into doing so. Meanwhile, the Romanian police have confiscated banknotes bearing the inscription "prop copy," which are considered counterfeit by the European Central Bank. The police's actions have sparked online ridicule, with netizens commenting and the police responding. The controversy surrounding these "recut" banknotes has led to further clarification from the police, with the Inspectorate General of the Romanian Police (IGPR) stating that the police intervention aims to prevent the use of these counterfeit banknotes for criminal activities.

Romania's Police, in collaboration with the Customs Authority, has seized a record 4.8 million counterfeit banknotes, with a total value of nearly 1 billion euros, in an operation coordinated by Europol. The operation took place at the Port of Constanța, where the fake notes, marked "prop copy" as if they were film props, were discovered. The investigation is ongoing to determine the origin of the counterfeit money and those involved in its production and distribution.
