How to distinguish counterfeit money from these: detailed instructions

All you need to know about money
What is made of money, who designs the design of banknotes, whether the issue of new banknotes affects inflation - these questions will be answered by another lecture from the cycle "Financial Environment".

Signs of real bills
The main characteristics by which you can identify genuine banknotes:

• Notations visible at the lumen.
• Micro-glazings and inscriptions, which can be seen in a magnifying glass with an increase of 8-10 times.
• Parts that change color depending on the angle of view.
• Relief inscriptions, perceived by touch.
• Elements that shine under the influence of ultraviolet or infrared radiation.
• To determine if a real bill is in your hands or fake, you need to check at least three protective signs of different types.

If you are caught banknotes of the same denomination, differing in detail, do not rush to sound the alarm. Most likely, these are modifications of different years - see the year of issue in the corner of the bill.
