Pakistani Rupee

Best Ways to Identify Counterfeit Pakistani Rupee Notes

• 

  The banknote paper has a security thread that is partially implanted into it. This thread is designed to resemble a window. It runs all the way down the left-hand side of the front, all the way to the bottom. A second security thread, which cannot be removed, can be found partially inserted in the front left side of each banknote. When held up to the light that is emitted, this thread appears to be whole and unbroken. However, when the thread is spread down flat, it gives the appearance of being sloppy and broken. This is a significant red flag that the money in question might be fake.

• 

  The pattern that is found on the banknotes is not printed, but rather etched into the surface that is coated, which gives the design a form that is slightly raised.

• 

  The image of Quaid e Azam is printed as a watermark on the front of each banknote, on the left-hand side. This particular watermark does not appear elsewhere on the note at any time. Instead, in order to get the intended look, it was created by cutting and scratching through many layers of paper. When a note is placed on a level surface, the authenticity of the note can be determined by searching for a little white outline that surrounds the watermark, and when the note is held up to transmitted light, the currency value can be seen in the picture.

• 

  When the authentic notes are exposed to transmitted light, the denomination numerals that are located on the left top of the obverse and the right top of the reverse do not fade away as you might anticipate they would.

• 

  Due to the anti-scan and anti-copy line patterns on the note, it is not feasible to directly scan or photocopy the note.

• 

  There is a security thread that has the appearance of a window on the top and bottom left corners of the front left side of the bill. When viewed in both regular light and ultraviolet light, it has a distinct change in hue.

• 

  The front of the note features a design that consists of a series of geometric shapes.

• 

  The denominational numeral is printed in Urdu on the right and left upper sides of the note, however, it is written in English on the right lower side of the note. Both sides of the note bear the same design.

• 

  Intaglio lines can be found at the extreme left and right corners of a banknote.

• 

  The paper that is used to create banknotes is a unique type of paper that cannot tear or curl in any way. In addition to being more robust than tissue paper, it also cannot be folded in half like paper towels.

• 

  Genuine currency, when subjected to excessive force, has the potential to shred, but you will never observe it breaking. However, most counterfeiters in Pakistan print two sides of bogus notes and glue them together with a forged security thread in the middle, which eventually causes the two sides to separate.

• 

  Bills that have been tampered with can be identified as such by rubbing your finger across the watermark on the bill. If you sense a shift in texture beneath your skin, it is quite likely that the note is genuine. However, you should most likely go ahead and accept it if the zone around the watermark is even and unbroken.

• 

  The ink that is used on Pakistani banknotes is one of a kind and is designed to withstand being wet without spreading. In the meanwhile, the ink on the counterfeit bills will become illegible very rapidly if they become moist. A simple rubbing motion combined with a drop of water placed anywhere on the surface of the note will expose any attempts at counterfeiting. The smearing of the ink is a clear indication that the note cannot be trusted.

• 

  It is important to keep in mind that actual bills, when held up to a black light, will not emit a glow in the dark. However, when counterfeit Pakistani banknotes are subjected to UV light, the paper will frequently change colour and sometimes even sparkle.

• 

  In Pakistan, counterfeit banknotes are frequently identifiable by their colour, which is identical to the colour of the national flag. The 500, 1000, and 5000 banknotes all have flags, and depending on the angle at which the note is seen, each of the flags will exhibit a different colour. If they don't, you have every reason to believe that the money is fake, and you should decline to accept it.

• 

  The Urdu value of the note is printed in the upper left-hand corner of the face of the money. If you place it on a level surface, all that will be visible from the figures is their shadows. However, if you hold the note up to the transmitted light, you will be able to read all of the figures on the note.
