counterfeit prevention

Blocking bogus bills

Counterfeit prevention refers to measures taken to stop the production or circulation of fake currency, documents, or goods.

Security features like watermarks, holograms, and microprinting make banknotes and official documents harder to forge.

For consumer products, counterfeit prevention may involve authentication codes, tamper-evident packaging, or supply chain tracking.

The treasury introduced new counterfeit prevention measures in the redesigned bills.
