Banknotes in any country in the world have always been forged by counterfeiters. Counterfeiting technologies are now quite advanced, and at first glance, it can be difficult to distinguish a counterfeit bill from a real one. However, upon closer examination, you can determine where the real rubles are, and where the fake.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the paper of the bill. Fold the bill. The paper on which the money is printed has high mechanical strength and rigidity, and when folded, it should "crunch". Fakes are usually made on a finer one.
Step 2
Examine the banknote carefully. It must have intaglio printing. Small texts on the banknote are written very clearly and are easy to read. On a fake, thin lines in images are usually blurry. Touch the bill where it is darker, in these places there should be strokes with a relief that can be felt with your fingers. Such a relief is also used for the use of banknotes by the blind and visually impaired.
Step 3
Touch the bill with your fingers at the point where its denomination is indicated. It is micro-perforated and does not feel rough to the touch. For fakes, microperforation is applied with a thin needle, so there will be bulges on it in these places.
Step 4
Look at the light suspicious bill, the paper should have clearly visible clear watermarks. They are visible only in the light; when the bill is turned, they are not visible. In this case, the watermark must be multi-tone and have a certain image.
Step 5
Tilt the bill and look at the wide security thread. From the real one, it acquires a mother-of-pearl shine, while a text appears indicating its denomination.
Step 6
Pay attention to the metallized thread applied to the banknote. On its reverse side, it comes out in five shiny lines. If you look at it through the light, it will merge into a continuous strip.
Step 7
Tilt the banknote and see how the pictures change from different angles. For example, if you look at the face of a 1,000-ruble note from an acute angle, you can see the letters PP (meaning "Russian ruble") kipp effect). At the same time, one should pay attention to the appearance of rainbow stripes to the left of the monument to Yaroslav the Wise on the banknote (moire effect).
Step 8
Consider the image of the coat of arms of the city of Yaroslavl on the thousandth bill. It is printed with special color-changing inks, so when tilted, the color of the image will change from magenta to golden green.
Step 9
A real banknote must have colored fibers in the thickness of the paper. If you have a small UV flashlight, then when you shine it on the bill, you will notice that these fibers in it will glow red and yellow-green glow, and the background image will be green.
