How to Recognising the Euro?

Banknotes Various security features have been incorporated into the euro banknotes. They will help you to recognise a genuine banknote at a glance.

	Feel the “raised print”the special printing processes give banknotes their unique feel.
	Look at the banknote and hold it up to the light: the watermark, the security thread and the see-through register will then be visible. All three features can be seen from the front and the reverse side of genuine banknotes.
	Tilt the banknote: on the front of the banknote, you can see the shifting image on the hologram foil stripe (on the low-value banknotes) or the hologram foil patch (on the high-value banknotes).
	Tilt the banknote: on the reverse side, if you tilt the banknote, you can see the brilliance of the iridescent stripe (on the low-value banknotes) or the colour-shifting ink (on the high-value banknotes).
