If you receive counterfeit money by mistake in your daily life, you should immediately hand it over to your local bank or public security bureau and stop using or disseminating counterfeit money. If you find counterfeit money at a bank or other financial institution, you can ask them to collect it and issue a certificate of receipt, and then apply for an appraisal from the People's Bank of China or its authorized appraisal agency. If you disagree with the results, you can also apply for a re-evaluation.
You can also spot a counterfeit with a few simple tricks, such as:
Look:You can compare suspicious banknotes with genuine banknotes to observe whether the anti-counterfeiting features such as watermarks, security threads, photo-variable ink denomination numbers, and ** denomination numbers are clear, complete, and obviously changed.
Touch:You can touch the gravure part of the banknote with your fingers, such as *** headshot, denomination numbers, People's Bank of China name, etc., to feel whether there is a bumpy feeling.
Listen:You can shake or flick the banknote vigorously to hear if there is a crisp and loud sound. The paper of the real banknote is crisp and durable, while the fake banknote is muffled.
Measure:You can use some simple tools or special identification instruments for detection, such as magnifying glasses, ultraviolet lamps, magnetic detectors, etc.
