Counterfeit Bills: How to Check

1. Texture

Genuine money has a distinctive texture. Canadian bills are printed on a special polymer paper that feels smooth and like plastic. If you touch a bill and it doesn’t feel right or familiar, it might be a counterfeit.
Examine it more closely for further signs of counterfeiting.

Plastic currency was only introduced in 2011, so keep in mind that some older paper-bills may still be in circulation.

2. Raised ink

An important security feature on Canadian bills is distinct areas with raised ink. If the bill is genuine, there are 2 areas where you should be able to feel raised ink when you rub the bill between your fingers:
The large number value. For example, you should be able to feel the outline with your fingers of the large “20” printed on the front of a $20 bill.
The words “Bank of Canada” and “Banque du Canada” on the front of the bill.

3. Small leaf transparent window

You should see a small frosted maple leaf with a transparent outline above the large number value. The transparent component is difficult to counterfeit, so the absence of it could be an indication that the bill is fake.

4. Metallic portrait in the large transparent window

Inside the larger transparent window you should see a metallic portrait, also known as a hologram. The portrait should be the same as the larger portrait on the front of the bill. It should also change colour as you tilt the bill.
A mirrored version of the same portrait will appear on the back of the bill as well.

This is one of the hardest security features to replicate – making it one of the best checks for counterfeit money.

5. Number value in the large transparent window

Also in the large transparent window, you should see repeating numbers that match the bills monetary value. For example, on a $20 bill there should be a small “20” repeating in a line. These numbers should appear near the word “Canada” beneath the metallic portrait. “Canada” should feel slightly raised to the touch.

6. Border of maple leaves around the large transparent window

Running along the edge of the large transparent window should be an arched row of maple leaves. The row should also cross into the transparent window.

7. Building illustrated in the large transparent window

Near the bottom edge of the large transparent window, you should be able to see a somewhat detailed picture of a building – not just an outline. The building should change colour when you tilt the bill. The specific building pictured is unique for each denomination.

8. Serial number

Each bill has a unique serial number. If you receive multiple suspicious bills and the serial numbers are the same on all of them, they’re counterfeits.
There are several databases that claim to have nearly comprehensive lists of every legitimate bill in circulation. You can potentially verify if a bill is a fake by checking if its serial number appears in one of these databases.

Number ONE Rule:

Do NOT accept any USD bills in denominations above $20 USD.

1. Hold the bill up to the light.

For all bills except $1 and $2 dollar bills, there should be a security thread (plastic strip) running from top to bottom.
The thread is embedded in (not printed on) the paper and runs vertically through the clear field to the left of the Federal Reserve Seal. On authentic bills, this should be easily visible against a light source.
The printing should say "USA" followed by the denomination of the bill, which is spelled out for $10 and $20 bills but presented in numerals on the $5, $50 and $100 bills. These threads are placed in different places on each denomination to prevent lower-denomination bills being bleached and reprinted as higher denominations.

2. Use an ultraviolet (black) light to look at security threads.

Plastic strips in high-denomination bills should glow a specific color.
The $5 dollar bill should glow blue; the $10 bill should glow orange; the $20 bill should glow green; the $50 bill should glow yellow; the $100 bill should glow pink.
If your bill remains white under a black light, it is likely a counterfeit.

3. Check for watermarks.

Use natural light to see if your bill bears an image of the person whose portrait is on the bill.
The watermark is embedded in the paper to the right of the portrait and should be visible from both sides of the bill.

4. Examine the micro-printing.

This includes small words or numbers that are hardly visible to the naked eye and cannot be read without a magnifying glass.
The watermark is embedded in the paper to the right of the portrait and should be visible from both sides of the bill.

5. Examine the serial numbers.

There should be two serial numbers located on the face of the bill on either side of the portrait. Look at the bill carefully and make sure that the serial numbers match.
If you receive multiple suspicious bills, see if the serial numbers are the same on across all bills. Counterfeiters often neglect to change serial numbers on fake bills. If they are the same, then they are counterfeit notes.
