How do I spot counterfeit currency?

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.
