Tips to check your Rs.500 and Rs.1000

Tips to check your Rs.500 and Rs.1000 currency notes to confirm Fake Note / Genuine

There are lot many instruments are available in the market to identify the fake notes.  Even one can easily identify the fake note by observing it deeply with the naked eye without using any instruments.

Paper

One can easily identify the fake currency note by touching the paper with the fingers.  The paper of the original currency note is specially manufactured by using a cotton type of material.  If one tries to crush the paper then he can feel the sounds like the sound which gets while eating papad.  But as the fake notes are made of normal papers they will be thick and shine.

Printing

Some special printing technology is been used in the currency notes in some of the places which is called as Raising Printing.    When we touches on that place we feel as if the place is swell and this kind of printing is not possible in the fake notes.

Watch in the Light ray

The Mahatma Gandhi water mark is seen clearly when the currency note is placed before the light and seen.  In the same way we can also see the security thread and the electrolyte water marks on the note.  Even for some of the fake notes the same water mark is seen but is not visible as clear as in the original ones.  In the same way the security thread also appears as different threads but not as a single one.

Number panel

In the original paper all the numbers will be in the same sequence and size.  But the sequence and the size in the fake notes will be different from one another.

Design

There will be a special design on the top of the head on the portrait of Mahatma Gandhi and at the center of the green color portion.  If this part is seen using Magnified glass there appears theletters RBI and the value of that note is seen in small letters.  In case of the fake notes this clarity is not seen.

Shiny thread protection

There will be a protection thread which is partially seen in some of the cases on the currency notes of Rs. 100/-, Rs. 500/- and Rs. 1000/-. It appears as a single line when seen before light.  There appears the word Bharath in the devanagari script and RBI in English one after the other on the security thread of the currency note.  On the Rs. 1000/- note there will be the words Bharath and the figure 1000 which indicates the value of the note in the devanagari script and RBI in English and on the security thread.

Water Mark

In the white side panel of the note one can clearly see the portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, to the surrounding of it one can see the lines which are drawn in different angles, the electrolyte symbol which represents the value of the note which all are in an invisible mode.  To see all these on the note one has to focus the note to any light.

Ink which can seen in two different colors

The numbers which indicates the value of the note like 500,1000 on Rs. 500/- and Rs.1000/- are printed using a Optically Variable Ink whose functionality is that one can see the number printed with a green color when the note is seeing in flat and the same number appears in Blue when the note is seen by keeping it in same angle.

Thick and swelling like Printing

The printings on the currency note like the portrait of the Mahatma Gandhi, the seal made by the RBI, the guarantee and the promise issues, the Asoka Pillar symbol on the left side of the currency note and the RBI governor signature will be very thick and feel like swelling sensation when touched.

Observe through Register

The figures on the currency notes for 100, 500, 1000 are been printed half on the front side and the remaining half on the back on the same place. Due to this kind of placement, the figuresappear alike and same without any difference when seen in front of the light.
