The Saudi Public Prosecution appealed to the public, urging them not to tamper with bank notes they are using in their daily transactions.
It launched an awareness campaign, warning that violators would face legal measures, according to Akhbar 24.
Lawbreakers convicted of defacing notes would be jailed up to five years and handed down fines which could reach SR10,000.
The penalties would apply to lawbreakers who tear bank notes, deface them using chemical substances or destroying them partially.
