Only a few days after the CBN released the newly redesigned naira notes, counterfeit notes also entered the system.

It is only imperative to arm yourself with the knowledge of how to identify the fake from the real naira notes.

This video highlights five easy ways to identify counterfeit Naira Notes.

How to identify fake Naira notes

Some days after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) released the redesigned Naira currency in the denominations of N200, N500 and N1,000, fake notes of the new N1000 Naira notes have been circulated in the economy.

A fake currency is an imitation of currency produced without legal authorisation from the state of government.

Identification of original Naira notes from fake pieces in the economy does not require a formal education, there are differences to look for.

This report reveals how fake Naira notes can be identified which will prevent good citizens from being scammed.

The Naira notes are protected by various security features to enable the easy recognition of genuine notes.

These are five simple guidelines on a Naira note that will help you to differentiate a counterfeit Naira from a genuine one.

1. Check the texture

If the texture of the Naira note is soft and the image in it appears dull, you have the right to be concerned, reject it and demand another one.

This means that you should be sensitive to the touch of the money you are given when involved in any transaction.

2. Observe the gold foil

The N1000 note has a gold foil on the right side, just near the CBN governor’s signature. If you scratch the gold foil of a fake note it will peel off instantly but the gold foil on the original note does not peel.

3. Use water or other liquid

You can differentiate fake currency from the original by using water or other liquid. Scammers release fake money and the colours they use in printing counterfeits are soluble in water and some other liquids.

If you are not certain about the originality of a Naira note, dip it in water or petrol and scrub it gently. The colours will change immediately if it is fake money. The colours of counterfeit money will wash off like an artwork painted with watercolour.

Again, the moment you immerse it in water, the paper becomes messed up. It will get rough and look more like a paper mache. However, the real note will not look like this when immersed in water or any liquid.

4 . Examine the ribbon/thread

There is a thread which appears like a ribbon on all Naira notes, running from the top to the bottom.

In real notes, this thread can be felt with a touch. It is more noticeable on old Naira notes. However, in fake notes, there is something that looks like the thread but it is not.

In the counterfeit notes, what is there is just a straight-line painting that looks like the thread in the original notes. If you scratch the painting, it will peel off like the solver panel on recharge cards.

5. Use mercury bulbs

Some qualities of the paper Naira notes cannot be seen with the naked eye. These features are only in original Naira notes, and one cannot see them except with the help of mercury bulbs.

For instance, if a real N1000 note is placed under the rays from a mercury bulb, it will show a shining 1000 (in numbers) written across the note. The same is applicable to smaller denominations.

These five simple tips discussed above are enough for anyone to use to differentiate original Naira notes from fake ones.

Good.

OK oooo but I noticed something. It seems Nigeria is going to a direction that I don't know but the process can't be trusted.

Imagine what every sect of the country is turning into? Is it that we don't have a president? Is that man an impostor?

Can we say Emiefele and other people in charge of Nigeria economic affairs ain't competent enough to manage a country like Nigeria?

Or is it true that blacks are wicked in nature to the extent that our leaders doesn't really care about the masses by looting more than a sane man can imagine?

How do we say some group of men or a particular person embezzled a certain amount of money that is beyond our budget and these people still roam freely in the same country?

Imagine the east? Is it truly political or religious? Let's imagine the condition of the families of all the policemen killed by these unknown gunmen, Is their any justification for it, for whatever cause they are agitating for?

Hmmmmmmm It's just funny how we got here, where did we got it wrong?

Let's pray and see where it ends.. Argentina almost lost the trophy when France equalize in the second half.. But in the end, they triumph. I believe this is also extra time for most of these bad top government officials and elders statement who are the bad eggs.. Their penalty shoot out will start very soon.. And I believe they will loose wholefully. Its obvious that there can't be a govt without bad guys but Nigeria is filled with these murderfvckers who have no single pity for anyone except for their close ones. Their heart is filled with evil. No mercy and they shall not seeercy in the last days of their year on earth.

Ok

Na only me never see this new money oooo

ugly design

main Notes sef look counterfeit. Bad design. The Design team at CBN should be probed! Ingenuity a rare but essential skill required is lacking in CBN as a whole.
bunch of ill-clever professionals!

Useless rigmarole from cbn

I don't care if the new note is counterfeit or not. I will only accept the note when there is alot of it in circulation.

Finally, CBN and Buhari don scam us again.

Worst cbn in history

Damnnn niggar
Nice information for them mama Ngonzi and papa femi way be market people

But We are going cashless

The original ones still looks fake AF. Stupid CBN

The fake one even looks more authentic than the so called "real one"

Make the real new one available for all and sundry

It is not to difficult to trace the people producing these fake currencies. But we have an unserious government

Ok ooooo

Be guided, please

Alright!

The N500 naira note no just fine at all, it looks faded, they practically spoiled it.

Meanwhile, anyone that refuse to accept bank transfer for any transaction above N5,000 should getat. Even when I am going to buy Christmas chicken it will be the same.

Gone are the days when I will have to cue at an ATM before I can go and purchase something that cost 25k.

Ok

Be wise

Nice job.... We can fight crime it's lowest level if only we make up our mind to. We need to keep exposing criminal all around us and also expose their tricks.

Thanks for the video
