How to detect counter-fit notes?

[Good-Person]

You can detect if a money is fake by exposing the money to a source of light. This is the best option to see whether the money is fake

It is also quite easy to detect a fake note by understanding the difference between the quality of paper. Each and every kind of different currency notes are made of different kind of paper, though.

It is not really easy to detect the fake note but in the long run, you will be able to detect a fake note if you know the gimmicks that is involved. By just placing it under the sun, you should be able to differentiate a fake note from the original one.

I have heard that the government in here will be introducing new currency notes soon and this could mean that it could eliminate the problem of fake currency notes as well.

 

[Shigobad2020]

No matter how the government keep changing the currency of the country , some people will still fund a way of making fake and counterfeit currency because its their way of life .

I believe that there shall come a time in the future when creating a counterfeit note will actually become harder for many fakesters. New designs are advanced and hard to replicate when it comes to creation of notes.

Counterfeit notes can be Checked by their security markings placed or embedded in by the countries centraal bank. Every country's security features are different from the other. You only have to know those unique to your own country alone and for instance Ghana is either you check whether u could see Kwame Nkrumah in the middle of the money when u raise it up or u check the texture

The problem of fake currencies is no longer a really major threat to the economy because now the designs and shape of notes have changed a lot. In the past, our currency notes used to have a really simple design that could be copied easily.

 

[Shigobad2020]

Hold the bill up to a light to check for a watermark. A watermark bearing the image of the person whose portrait is on the bill can be found on all $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills series 1996 and later, and on $5 bills series 1999 and later.

I guess its almost the same everywhere in the world , you need to hold the money up to the light like electric bulb to detect if its a counterfeit currency or real and we also squeeze it .

Additional features such as unique designs could also be used in order to prevent fake notes in a country. This is the responsibility of the government in order to control the circulation of such notes.

The bearer of the banknote is supposed to compare the suspected banknote with one of the same denomination from a different source.

Do not compare with the reproductions in a brochure (or a print out from the internet), which always differ from the original.

Unfold a received banknote and look at the front and the back.

Check the banknote for the security features (refer to write-up on the Features of the Ghanaian Banknote)

Pay attention to soiled or repaired bills

The Bank of Ghana can assist you in verifying the validity of a suspected note.

Notify the police as soon as possible if you think that a banknote has been counterfeited

 

[Setho]

Normal counterfeit notes are usually smooth and also they vary in the colour to the original money that is supposed to be in use so you have to be on the lookout.

I have also observed that it is very difficult for you to see a counterfeit notes that is almost the same colour with the original and that is exactly what I usually look out for.

I think that the government should also do something to stop the circulation of such kind of notes because such kind of notes can damage the economy of the country,.

The issue is that government may not really know this people that do circulate this note they produce this note hiddenly and most of them do the circulation during the night mostly on local shop

In the advanced countries you pay everything with QR Code or debit card so no need to counter fit notes. This problem remains for countries that aren't develloped so this problem of counter fit notes when paying everything with papers still exists.

Yes there are different ways this can be done but I don't know if the same is applicable to every currencies of the world since each and every country's currency has their own design and quality.

There are many ways in which you can detect counterfeit notes and a good example is holding the money to the light build to see if its fake or not or by squeezing it
