Any reduction of cash has to be accounted only in two ways i.e. either as a payment or as a deposit in books. Hence, write off the fake currency will be shown as a cash payment in books. If the amount is not material, it may be shown under misc exp. But if the the amount is material / if u think it has to be disclosed separately, then show it under write off of cash.
