According to experts, the threat of counterfeiting is more pronounced in Ireland than ever before. “Counterfeit currency is a serious issue that can have devastating consequences for businesses,” said John O’Connor, a security expert at Ratiotec. “Not only can it lead to financial losses, but it can also damage a company’s reputation and erode customer trust.”
