<p>[QUOTE="SanMiguel, post: 251945, member: 3379"]Yep! The crisscross wavy lines are still there, they're just a lot lighter. Lots of other areas appear lighter or slightly off too: the watermark area, the pattern around the watermark area, and the field behind the main title bar.The back is just as bad! The original has blue & violet fields, while the fakes are peach & violet. If these notes were circulated the color differences would be near impossible to detect, and the only practical way to tell them apart is the serial letter gap. It's easy to see why banks/airport kiosks would choose to just not take them, instead of training all of their tellers how to spot them. It's a rarely traded currency in most countries.</p><p><br /></p><p>genuine on top, fake on bottom:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images25.fotki.com/v903/photos/2/255739/4598643/bah20-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
