This study aimed to determine the knowledge, skills, and abilities of cashiers and vendors in recognizing counterfeit currency. The descriptive research design was used employing a survey questionnaire distributed randomly to cashiers and vendors. The majority of the respondents from Siniloan, Laguna, are vendors, mostly female, aged 35-42 years old, and employed as cashiers and vendors in business establishments. Among them, have reached and graduated from college, holding degrees. It was revealed that cashiers and vendors did not attend any seminar or training in recognizing counterfeit money. The knowledge, skills, and abilities of cashiers and vendors in recognizing counterfeit money revealed that they often practice these skills and show excellent performance in this area at work. Significant differences were found between cashiers and vendors, with cashiers demonstrating superior knowledge and skills due to their frequent handling of cash. This conclude that cashiers and vendors in Siniloan, Laguna, possess a generally high level of knowledge, skills, and abilities in recognizing Philippine counterfeit currency. The researchers recommend implementing targeted training programs that focus on practical, hands-on techniques and the latest counterfeit detection technologies. The study findings imply a critical need for continuous and practical training for cashiers and vendors to maintain and enhance their counterfeit detection skills.
