Detect counterfeit note

It's very easy to get caught if we don't use the money detector. Counterfeit note doesn't show anything on the money detector

Here's showing what we could see through the real note under the uv light of the money detector.

RM1

RM50

RM10

RM5

RM5

RM20

RM1




Now let's see the counterfeit note under the uv light..

RM10

Another way to detect counterfeit money is to touch and feel.
Those words on the real note could be felt
whereas counterfeit note feels smooth.

    Thanks for educating us on this. I guess we'll need to get a uv light detector if we are afraid of getting counterfeit money.

    Were you double checking all the money in the cash register when you found the fake one? What are you going to do with it?

      nowadays we are very careful..we always scan every note that we receive.
      Should we detect a counterfeit, we just return to the owner.
      but it happened before that we got caught..the bank cut the note into two pieces and then returned a piece to us..

    Fake notes are quite common in 3rd world countries as the poor people could not tell the difference much. These days the crooks are smart to use special papers that are slightly rough that makes the printer ink hard as well.

    The biggest jokes I had was someone telling me that my collection of the Malaya-Japanese Bananas money used during WW2 were all fakes. I asked him to show me the REAL & GENUINE ones!! He could not.

    Now you just gave me goose bumps! I recalled a friend telling me that one of his RM50 was a fake and he got it from the ATM! He could not get proof to verify with the bank! That means it could happen to us.

      very true, with the advanced printing technology nowadays it's really difficult to differentiate a counterfeit note..

      they can look so real and i guess quite impossible for bare eyes to spot the difference..

      yeah, i heard that you can feel the texture of the notes with fingers.. real ones are coarse while fake ones are smooth.. the colors may fade for counterfeit notes too..

      of course under the UV light, everything will be obvious.. but then not everyone will carry one UV light all the time..

      i think by handling hundreds of notes daily, you are very experience with identifying counterfeit notes.. perhaps you can share with us other methods without using the device.. :)

      but there is this one marker that was more easy to see
      on the side of our paper bill when you
      put it on a regular light there would be
      another face alike what was inprinted in the money itself

One unmistakable criterium is certainly manufacture according to the international quality standard (GMP/ISO).This is not obligatory! However,only 5% of nutritional supplements are produced according to it - the FitLine® products are among them. Beyond this quality standard, we have developed our own standards t...
