Step 1
There are several degrees of protection for banknotes. A common man in the street just needs to know the main differences between genuine and counterfeit banknotes. The considered signs of the authenticity of banknotes relate to a banknote of 1000 rubles. The easiest way is to look at the bill in the light. Watermarks that duplicate the printed ones should be clearly visible on the paper.
Step 2
For visually impaired people, the text "Ticket of the Bank of Russia" and the emblem of the Bank of Russia are perceived by touch, since they have increased relief.
Step 3
Microperforation, duplicating the denomination of the banknote, is a hole made with straight parallel lines. The distance between the holes should be perfectly even, and their edges should be smooth, without roughness.
Step 4
A protective shiny thread is located across the bill and it is clearly visible to the naked eye. However, this feature applies only to banknotes of the 2004 sample; it is not on the banknotes of the 1997 sample.
Step 5
Microtext can be determined only with a magnifier - a magnifying glass. Goes along the edges of the banknote. In addition to these signs, there are others, no less important. However, in most cases, possession of this information may be sufficient in order not to become a victim of scammers.
Step 6
In any of the many banks you will find detailed instructions in the form of brochures, posters and visual aids. Also, detailed instructions for determining the signs of the authenticity of banknotes are available on the official website of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
