Counterfeiters appeared at the same time as money. Over the years, their skills have evolved, and no matter how many layers of protection modern banknotes have, modern counterfeiters imitate any of them very convincingly. However, the counterfeit bill can be identified.
Instructions
Step 1
Fakes of not very good quality can be detected literally with your fingertips. Real banknotes are rough, embossed - if you wish, you can feel the embossed serial number. Plain fakes are printed on smooth paper with uneven embossing, if any.
Step 2
Pay attention to the quality and quantity of small parts. Fuzzy or blurry lines are most often indicative of a fake.
Step 3
A very good way to tell a counterfeit bill from a real one is to pay attention to the colors. On real banknotes, the coats of arms change shade depending on the angle. Watermarks on genuine banknotes are multi-colored.
Step 4
Real banknotes always contain tactile details - the inscription “Ticket of the Bank of Russia” and the emblem of the Bank of Russia. These details have increased relief.
Step 5
Each bill has a perforation (as a rule, perforation additionally indicates the denomination on the right side of the bill from the front side), it is worth noting that it is absolutely smooth to the touch, on counterfeit bills it is made with needles and after such an impact it is never possible to level the surface completely …
Step 6
Another security measure for banknotes is a metallized thread that looks solid in the light or a dotted line without backlighting. On counterfeit banknotes, the workmanship leaves much to be desired, as a rule, the thread does not look intact in the light.
Step 7
On the margins of any bill, there must be embossed slanting notches. They also work as identification marks for people with poor eyesight.
