This notice updates the EU’s official list of national authorities responsible for fighting euro counterfeiting. It replaces the 2015 list and names the police bodies, central banks, forensic agencies, mints and other public authorities in each Member State that handle counterfeit euro banknotes and coins. The practical impact is mainly administrative. Banks, cash handlers, payment companies, law enforcement contacts and compliance teams can use the updated list to identify the right national authority for reporting, analysis, technical checks or coordination on suspected counterfeit euro cash.
