Western Australian police said on Tuesday they had discovered a man, 33, making counterfeit 50 Australian dollar (38 U.S. dollar) notes, with a total of 14,000 fake Australian dollars (10,740 U.S. dollars) seized.

Police said the man tried to destroy a laptop computer and some of the notes that were near completion.

They also seized drugs and computers, scanners, printers, stencils and dye used to make the fake money.

The drugs seized include methyl amphetamine, also known as "ice ", and smoking implements. Endi
