Image for tile. Protecting Your Business from Counterfeit Currency Know Your Money The first step to fighting back against counterfeit currency is to know the ins and outs of what a legitimate bill looks like. Familiarize yourself with the security features of true U.S. currency so you know what to look out for. You can view examples of all denominations through the U.S. Currency Education Program website. Each note issued by the Federal Reserve includes unique security and design features that are periodically redesigned by the U.S. government to make them more difficult to counterfeit, so make sure you stay up-to-date on what’s new. Feel the Difference Embrace your tactile senses and take time to feel the quality of the cash you are being presented with. U.S. currency paper consists of 25% linen and 75% cotton with red and blue security fibers embedded throughout the paper that is not sold commercially, giving them a unique texture and feel. If you are presented with a bill that feels slick, there’s a good chance it was printed on lower-quality paper and has been counterfeited. In addition to the feel of the paper, genuine bills will have raised ink which adds to their unique feel. 4 min read
