• Recommendations for recognizing counterfeit bills and coins
The design of the coins may be imperfect, and the coin may look "swollen" or deformed.
The images may not be centered correctly. Bills contain a security thread on the front, a succession of silver-plated segments which, when held against the light, show a dark band in which you can read "BCRA" , together with the value of the bill.
You will find this band on $10, $20, $50 and $100 peso bills. All the bills have a "water mark", an image of a founding father which can be seen against the light. Counterfeit bills imitate the water mark but it can be seen without holding the bills up to the light. |
