Though we may not like to admit it, dishonesty is all too prevalent in the world. There have always been and will always be people who lie, cheat, or steal to get what they want. Dishonesty has many faces. Some of them are obvious, and some are more clandestine. Producing counterfeit productsproducts that are not the genuine articleis one of the more widespread forms of dishonesty. The practice affects almost every industry in every country of the world. Official currency is not immune to this problem. Indeed, counterfeit banknotes have been a problem for nearly as long as people have used money. Many governments (who print and regulate national currencies) have fought back by creating banknotes that are incredibly difficult to copy. High-tech security features are embedded within the money to identify the note as legal and genuine. Modern banknotes are not merely slips of paper; they are essentially sophisticated pieces of technology! In most countries of the world, the printing and issue of banknotes is handled exclusively by the government or a government-owned bank. In the United Kingdom, however, there are seven retail banks, in addition to the central Bank of England, that are authorized to print their own banknotes. These seven banks are located in, and print currency unique to, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Founded in 1694, the Bank of England is the central bank of the United Kingdom, and it primarily serves England and Wales. For nearly 300 years, the Bank of England has been issuing banknotes, and for nearly 300 years, counterfeit notes have been a problem. In response to this ongoing threat, the following security features have been developed. Banknotes are printed on special paper that is highly durable and has a unique feel. Raised lettering is used throughout the notes, particularly on the words Bank of England. A metallic thread weaves through every note. It looks like a broken line across the note, but if you hold it up to the light, it appears as a continuous dark line. There is a watermark of the Queen that is visible when held up to the light. Every note has a 3D hologram design that alternates between the value of the note and an image of Britannia. If the note is placed under an ultra-violet light, the number (5, 10, 20, or 50. will appear as bright red and green. Microlettering beneath the Queens portrait is only visible with a magnifying glass. The Bank of England prints notes in denominations of 5, 10, 20, and 50. The above security features are common to all four values. 20 and 50 banknotes have additional features that make them even more difficult to counterfeit. Unfortunately, counterfeit bills arent going away anytime soon. Thats why its important to be educated. Sometimes, a counterfeit bill isnt noticed right away, and it may enter circulation. If the bill ends up in your wallet, you might be held responsible if you try to use it. Even if you dont find trouble with the law, you will almost certainly lose that money. Its critical that you check the bills you receive from the bank and as change when you go shopping. You dont want to get caught with counterfeit money! 41.
