Many false bank notes circulating in Spain can be very convincing

<span style='color:#780948'>ARCHIVED</span> - Officials in Spain issue warning over counterfeit bank notes

Counterfeit money is a big business in Spain and as the summer season approaches, both individuals and business owners are more susceptible to this fraudulent practice. As a result, the Guardia Civil has launched an alert through its official Twitter account to advise people of the steps to check if bank notes are real or fake.

Officers posted a bizarre image of a fake bill that looks like a 50 euro note, but is actually stamped with an amount of 39.95 euros. The Guardia Civil pointed out that, although this example is quite amusing and obviously fake, many counterfeits are far more convincing and can easily fool us.

The officials have recommended the following tip to establish if a bank note is real:

Touch the embossed print to check the texture.
Hold the bill up to the light.
Check that the holographic band is present.

Puede parecerte gracioso y evidente, pero algunas falsificaciones no son tan garbanceras como esta
Consejo:
✅Toca la impresión en relieve
✅Gira para ver la banda holográfica
✅Mira al trasluz
