It is said that the first coins that were minted in Lydia (now western Turkey) were often forged, and that the forging of coins in ancient Rome was a daily occurrence.



The Roman emperors forged the coins in their own way; they made them of low-value metals; which devalued the currency, and then tried to pass it to trade at a value higher than its real value.


Counterfeit money remained a problem even thousands of years later. At the beginning of the civil war in America in 1861, half of the paper currency was counterfeit.


Governments around the world are trying to take action to prevent counterfeiting of paper currency and to devise new currency printing techniques that make it easier to distinguish them from counterfeit money.


Here are the security features of the 10 most commonly traded paper currencies in the world, according to the "titlemax" website.



10. South African Rand (category 50 Randa):





The most striking feature of this currency, which is difficult to counterfeit, is the dark band that appears complete when exposing the paper to light, showing the value of the currency, the emblem of the nobility, and the words "Rand" and "SARB", the central bank of South Africa.


This paper currency also has prominent lines on its left and right sides, which helps the visually impaired to know the value of the currency.

The Mexican pesos from 200 to A also contain two rows of numbers that must be in identical order, so that the paper is original and not forged.



Euro (€ 200):





When you place this paper in front of the light, you can see the incomplete number 200 at the top of the paper completely, and the dark line at the bottom of the paper will appear, showing the word "Euro" and the value of the currency written in a small line.
