With
several complaints and rumours about "fake new notes" of Rs 2,000
denomination, there is some wariness among the people as the notes come into
wider circulation. Notes of Rs 500 denomination would be circulated soon by
banks.
However, the new notes not only have several security
features difficult to counterfeit, there are many ways the users can verify if
the notes are genuine.
he
touch and feel of the notes can be used for this. The seven "bleed
lines" on the side of the Rs 2,000 notes, and five lines on Rs 500 notes
are in raised printing or intaglio. The security thread in both the notes
changes colour from green to blue at different angles.
Also, the numeral 500 and 2,000 on the right side also
change colour when seen at different angles.
These can be easily identified by any user and are very
hard to counterfeit, according to experts.
The new notes have
changed colours. While the Rs 2,000 note's paper is in magenta, the Rs 500 note
is in stone gray.Thanks for One India News
