5 Best Ways To Identify Fake New Naira Note

1. Gold Foil

On the right side of the N1,000 note, just above the CBN Governor’s signature, there is a gold foil. The gold foil on a fake note will immediately peel off if you scratch it, whereas the gold foil on an authentic note will not.

2. Texture

The ability to feel and see the difference between real and phony notes is one of their distinctive characteristics. The naira note is probably false if it has a soft feel and has a dull-looking image.

3. Examine the ribbon/thread

All Naira notes include a security thread that runs from top to bottom and resembles a ribbon. This thread can be sensed by touching the actual notes.

On older Naira notes, it is more pronounced. However, there is something that appears to be the thread in bogus notes but is actually not.

What is there in the fake notes is merely a straight-line painting that mimics the thread on the genuine notes.

4. Use Mercury Bulbs

Naira makes a note of several characteristics of the paper that are invisible to the naked eye. Only original Naira notes have these traits, and only mercury bulbs can be used to see them.

For instance, a genuine N1,000 note will display the number 1000 (in numerals) when exposed to the light of a mercury bulb.

5. Use Liquid/Water Substances

Using water or another liquid substance can help you tell the difference between real dollars and counterfeit money. It is rumored that the inks used to create fake currency can dissolve in water and some other liquids.
