How to identify a genuine 1000 rupee from a fake one?

Easily recognizable security features( In Mahatma Gandhi series)

Hello friends, I am back with an article about security features on a currency note. Hope you will enjoy it....

In this era of Cut-throat competition, every one wants to be rich with minimum efforts but some of them choose the path of crime to earn their living. Problem of counterfeit notes is also one of them. As a solution to it RBI(reserve bank of India) provides some security features on every note. Criminal minds try to imitate it but as the saying goes - 'No thief can be perfect', It is almost impossible to create exactly same currency note so they create a similar note. Since most of the people are unaware of security feature provided they are be fooled and have to incur monetary losses. So here are the features:

2. Hidden portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, the multi directional  lines & an electrotype mark showing the numeral 1000

appear in this section. It can be seen better when viewed

against light. 

3. Optically variable ink, the color of numeral '1000' appears green when banknote is held flat, but will change blue when tilted to an angle.

4. Fluorescence, the banknote series, number panel, security thread and few particles (scattered in a note) will glow when exposed to ultraviolet light.

5. Security thread, It will have 'BHARAT' ,'RBI' , and '1000' written on it and the thread will change color from green to blue when viewed from different angles. The thread is visible as a continuous line from behind when viewed against light.

6. Intaglio printing, the portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, the reserve bank seal and 'ek hazar rupiye' are printed in Intaglio (raised ink), which can be felt by touch.

7. Latent Image, the vertical band on the extreme right of the bank note contains a latent image of numeral '1000' which can be seen when the note is held at the eye level.

8. Micro lettering, the letters 'RBI' and '1000' can be viewed with the help of a magnifying glass in the zone between Mahatma Gandhi portrait and the vertical band.

9. Identification mark, Diamond with Intaglio print which can be felt by touch helps the visually impaired to identify the denomination.
