Counterfeiting of state banknotes is a crime that is prosecuted in all countries. There are many ways to reproduce banknotes, so a whole system has been created to protect dollars from unwanted copying.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the material of manufacture of the banknotes - banknotes are printed only on special sheets. The thickness of one American dollar is 0, 1075 mm, and a pack of counterfeit bills can be recognized using a regular school ruler. However, in some cases, it is necessary to establish the authenticity of one ticket, and then other methods will be used.
Step 2
Take a closer look at the structure of the dollar canvas, it is composed of cotton and linen. The fibers are distinguishable, the color of the main part of the material is pale yellow, the pattern is shown in gray tones.
Step 3
Rate the quality of the paper - it should be high. Take the characteristic crunch and elasticity as a guide.
Step 4
Enlighten the bill and you will see the watermarks. Please note that the portrait shown on them and the banknote itself matches. Note that under normal conditions the outline of the watermark should not be visible. Their presence is another sign of a fake. Be sure to look at both sides of the banknote in order to figure out other tricks of the attackers with which they seek to imitate the image inside the banknote.
Step 5
Look at the lower right corner of the front side of the banknote - the inscription indicating the denomination is made with optical paint, which, when tilted at a certain angle, turns from green to black. By the way, it, together with the phrase The United States of America, is easily palpable and differs in a slightly increased thickness of the paint layer.
Step 6
Check the bill for the presence of microtext from the repeated repetition of the inscription The United States of America, located in two lines around the portrait of the President.
Step 7
Test the authenticity of the dollar with ultraviolet light - the red-blue villi on real banknotes should glow. These security features will be visible in normal lighting, but will not be as noticeable.
