<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 676865, member: 2486&quot;]Counterfeit notes exist across the board! It dates back to the Colonial Days. As a matter of fact, one of the questions in my contest is about counterfeiting.</p><p>Very unique measures back in the 18th and 19th Centuries were developed and used as anti-counterfeiting measures. In todays production of banknotes the technology is better, I only wish the notes were of the same quality as the by gone days.</p><p>You must understand counterfeiting and what to look for, this involves an understanding of engraving, plate making, paper used in production, inks, silk threads, paper composition, all kinds of variables.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Series 1869 Rainbow notes I have posted lately were designed precisely for new anti-counterfeiting deterrents all over that note! The blue stain, the security silk&#039;s, the ink coloring, process in which that paper was made...it just goes on and on...you can spend endless hours reading about this subject!</p><p><br /></p><p>It all comes down to know what you are looking at.....often counterfeited notes of decades and centuries ago will be fuzzy or a little more blurred than a proper note, but todays technology is far superior to the counterfeiting measures of the late 1800&#039;s and early 19th Century.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
