Be especially wary of new bills and larger bills. Lookout for anyone passing an unusually large bill for a small purchase.
If you detect a fake bill do not try to apprehend the suspect. Simply refuse the bill and notify authorities as soon as possible.
Do not ever try to pass a known fake bill on to another person, business or financial institution. This is a crime.
Beware of bills that are genuine bills but have corners from a higher denomination bill pasted on them. These bills will not get detected by a counterfeit detector because the have all the characteristics of a real bill (which they are). Be sure your cashiers know to look for the proper photo on each denomination.
Buy a high speed counterfeit detecting counter for checking all your bills while you count your daily tills.
Be aware that counterfeiters tend to hit one area very hard for a week or so then move on when the heat gets to be too much for them. Keep in contact with local police and businesses so you know when an area has unusual activity and during these times you can be more vigilant.
Post a sign prominently in your place of business warning crooks that you employ counterfeit detection devices.

REMEMBER, AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE. Do not wait until the couterfeiters target your area, protect your business with a couterfeit detector today !
