Security Seals—Marks of Authenticity

Security seals are features concealed within our banknotes to safeguard them against forgery. These include things like watermarks and security threads that are carefully embedded into each note. The goal isn’t to completely stop counterfeiting, but to deter. While large-scale syndicates can still do it, it’s made deliberately hard enough so individuals won’t even bother to try. The logic is simple: it’s easier for the authorities to trace counterfeit notes to large-scale syndicates and bust them at one go, than to track down individuals. On this page, you may notice that some pictures are blurred or very small—that’s on purpose, because these security features are not meant to be easily seen or copied.
