Feel
the "raised" print - the special printing processes give banknotes
their unique feel. |

Look
at the banknote and hold it up to the light: the watermark, the security
thread and the see-through register will then be visible. All three features
can be seen from the front and the reverse side of genuine banknotes. |

Tilt
the banknote: on the reverse side, if you tilt the banknote, you can see
