At present, meeting a fake bill in a store, on the market, or, surprisingly, at an ATM is far from uncommon, but rather, the consequences of the person’s carelessness. There are several ways to determine whether or not a genuine bill, and following these simple steps, you can decide for yourself what to do with the money (or "money") that you are given.
Instruction manual
1
Take a close look at the watermark. On a genuine bill, it consists of places darker and vice versa, brighter. On the fake, in most cases, you can see that the color of the watermark is much darker, and it practically does not change throughout.
2
If you need to verify the authenticity of a thousand-ruble note, be sure to swipe your finger along the back of the microperforation. If this is a fake bill, you will feel the roughness of the surface, but it is impossible to detect this on the real one.
3
Feel the inscription TICKET OF THE BANK OF RUSSIA. It can be significantly less prominent than usual. In this case, it is more advisable to refuse the bill - it is most likely false.
4
Remember that a bill of any value must have a metal protective thread - it is inside the bill and is visible as a dashed line. Returning to the notes in denominations of one thousand rubles, the number one in the lower part of the banknote should be above this protective thread. And if the bill that fell into your hands is false, then on the contrary, the protective thread will pass over the unit.
5
On a thousand-ruble note, take a look at the coat of arms of Yaroslavl, which depicts a bear. If, when the bill is tilted, it changes color from reddish to greenish, then the bill is real. Accordingly, if the color does not change, the bill is false.
6
Consider a strip of vertically arranged pattern. It should be on both sides of the bill. If you look at a banknote in the light, you can see more parts of the pattern than during normal viewing - a sign of this bill.
7
Remember that in the manufacture of these notes, red, yellow and yellow-red fibers are always inserted into the paper. They can be found in different places of a monetary paper.
8
Find the icon of three stripes and dots on the left side of the front of a valid banknote - this is a sign for people with low or no vision. Be sure to feel it too - it should not be smooth to the touch, otherwise the bill is obviously fake.
note
Most counterfeit notes are denominations of one thousand rubles, so most of the steps below should be made with respect to money of this denomination.
