To spot counterfeit currency in Egypt:
- Check the texture: Genuine notes feel crisp, with raised printing on denominations and text.
- Hold the bill up to light: Look for watermarks, security threads, and see-through registration features.
- Inspect holographic strips or metallic elements that change color when tilted.
- Examine print details—counterfeits may have blurry text or missing microprinting.
- Use ultra-violet (UV) light to reveal hidden security marks.
- If unsure, exchange money at reputable banks or official Forex offices.
