The thousandth bill is one of the most frequently counterfeited banknotes by counterfeiters. Criminals seek to forge those security elements of the thousandth bill that are most often checked, so it is necessary to be able to distinguish a real bill from a counterfeit one. This is quite simple to do. The main thing is to know some of the features and differences of real banknotes.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, in order to find out whether it is a real bill or not, you need to check it by touch. On the thousandth bill, there are places where the elevated relief is well felt. These are the places along the edges of the bill, where thin strokes and the words "BANK OF RUSSIA TICKET" are applied.
Step 2
If you look at the bill at a right angle, you can see a shiny horizontal stripe on it. When the bill is tilted, this bright stripe will move up or down from the middle of the coat of arms.
Step 3
Also pay attention to the hologram. If the bill is slightly turned, then the hologram should change its color from lilac to gray.
Step 4
You can also see blue and yellow stripes on the green one-color field when tilted, which, as it were, continue the colored stripes visible in the lower part of the banknote.
Step 5
It is also worth paying attention to the fragment of the security thread on the front side in the curly window. If this is a real thousandth bill, then on this thread you can see a repeating image of the number 1000.
Step 6
Another way to check is to consider a bill under a magnifying glass. If you look closely from the face of the banknote, you can see microtext on the ornamental ribbons at the top and bottom of the banknote. Such microtext usually does not exist on counterfeiters' banknotes.
Step 7
Examine your bill in the light. On the reverse side of the banknote, near the security thread, you can see the numbers 1000, often repeated and separated by rhombuses. When exposed to light, these diamonds and numbers appear lighter against a dark background.
Step 8
You should pay attention to the coat of arms of the city of Yaroslavl with the image of a bear on the thousandth bill. If the bill is tilted, then the coat of arms should change color from crimson to green.
Step 9
And, of course, you need to consider the quality of the paper from which the money is made. Counterfeit banknotes are almost always printed on plain paper, while real money is made from multi-ply and multi-piece paper.
