The cannabis dispensary business is facing a real cash problem – having too much of it. As of 2021, 18 states along with Washington D.C. have legalized recreational marijuana for adults over 21. And an even more staggering number of 37 states have legalized marijuana for recreational and medicinal purposes. However, marijuana is still illegal at the federal level, meaning most banks and credit card processors refuse to service the industry in case they run afoul of money laundering laws.

So how do you protect yourself as a small business operating primarily with cash transactions? Well, there’s a few ways that really make sense. Security systems as well as on-site security guards can be highly effective in deterring theft. Cannabis money safes are also a great solution to safeguard cash. But the real problem is when you accept cash, complete the transaction then take that cash to bank only to find out you’ve fallen victim to fraud.

According to the United States Department of Treasury, an estimated $70 million in counterfeit bills are in circulation, or approximately one counterfeit bill for every 10,000 in genuine currency. So, when operating a business that is predominantly fueled by cash transactions there is a high probability that you will encounter a fraudulent bill.
