It can also never split in two like tissue paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although genuine currency may shred due to mishandling, you will never see it split. On the other hand, most counterfeiters print two sides of fake notes in Pakistan and glue them together to add a forged security thread in the middle, which eventually results in the two sides of the note separating after a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Security Thread<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, each banknote has a partially embedded security thread running from top to bottom on the front left side of the note that cannot be pulled out. This thread appears complete and unbroken when held against transmitted light. However, if you place the note on a horizontal surface, the thread will appear uneven or interrupted. This is a huge tell-tale sign that can help you identify fake currency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Watermark&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-021-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"how to spot counterfeit money in Pakistan\" class=\"wp-image-109072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-021-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-021-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-021-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-021-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-021-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-021.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Trace your fingers on top of the watermark to determine whether it is genuine or counterfeit <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A portrait of Quaid-e-Azam is present on the front left side of each banknote as a watermark. This watermark isn\u2019t printed on the note. Instead, the thickness of the paper has been cut and scratched to form the shape. If you place the note on an even surface, you will be able to see a faint white outline around the watermark and when you hold it against transmitted light you will be able to view the currency denomination on the portrait.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also test whether the currency is counterfeit by rubbing the surface over the watermark between your fingers. If you can feel the texture change beneath your skin, it means the note is likely genuine. However, if the watermark area feels smooth and even, refrain from accepting it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Ink<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The currency in Pakistan is printed using specialized ink that doesn&#8217;t smudge or smear even if the note gets wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the ink on the fake notes will smudge rather easily if they get wet. So, one of the easiest ways to spot counterfeit money is by putting a drop of water anywhere on its surface and rubbing it gently. If the ink comes off, the note is bogus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Colour of the Note<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The colour of the currency in Pakistan is also an important factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must remember that genuine notes do not change their colours when viewed under ultraviolet or black light. On the other hand, fake banknotes in Pakistan tend to change their colours and even glow when passed under UV lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Flags on Currency Notes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-031-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"counterfeit currency in Pakistan\" class=\"wp-image-109073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-031-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-031-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-031-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-031-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-031-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-031.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The colour of the flag can make it easy to identify counterfeit currency in Pakistan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The flags appearing on the 500, 1,000 and 5,000 banknotes will change their colour when held at varying angles. If they don\u2019t, the currency is most likely fake and should not be accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the most important security features of banknotes in Pakistan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Intaglio Printing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Intaglio printing is different from regular printing. Instead of an image being printed on the surface of the paper with ink, the design in intaglio printing is scratched and etched into the coated paper, giving it a raised and uneven surface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To identify the fake currency in Pakistan, you must trace the portrait of Quaid-e-Azam with your fingertips. If the outer line of the watermark on the front side feels rough, the note is likely genuine. However, if it feels smooth or rough on both sides, it is counterfeit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to check the authenticity of the note is to hold it against transmitted lights and look for any perforation marks along the edges of the watermark because counterfeiters often prick the note from the back with microneedles to make the surface feel rough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Denomination in Urdu<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Urdu denomination is printed on the top left side on the front of the currency. If you place it on a horizontal surface, you will only be able to see incomplete figures. However, you will be able to see complete figures if you hold the note against transmitted light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"App\"><strong>Mobile App to Identify Fake Currency&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-011-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"state bank of pakistan mobile app\" class=\"wp-image-109069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-011-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-011-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-011-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-011-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-011-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1440x900-011.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>This mobile app by the State Bank of Pakistan enables citizens to learn about the security features of currency notes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The State Bank of Pakistan has also introduced a smartphone application to guide the citizens about the security features of notes.

In case someone manages to trick you with fake banknotes in Pakistan, you are required to take it to a bank and ask them to stamp it as \u2018Cancelled.\u2019 Please remember that using or passing on counterfeit money is a crime punishable by hefty fines and jail time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a wrap for our guide on how to identify the fake currency in Pakistan.
