The ink used to print the note and the ink used to sign the note were different. Often the ink used to sign the note was made out of berries and is usually a light or dark brown color. Another key identifier is the eyes in the portraits. If the eyes are really dark like charcoal with no detail it is usually a sign of a fake note as the fakes lack a lot of the details of the original. The paper is often the biggest giveaway if holding the note in hand. The fakes tend to be on heavier stock or on thin stock that has been made to look aged. Once you have handled real notes you will have no problem discerning the authenticity of most common notes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
