A real $20 bill will feature a portrait watermark. You can see it by holding the note to the light to see a faint image of Andrew Jackson in the blank space to the right of the center portrait. The watermark should be visible on both sides of the bill. ☜(゚ヮ゚☜)

There are three ways. First, if you hold it up to the light, you can see the Queen in the seemingly empty space shaped like an oval. Second, the dashed line, if held to the light, will become one line. And third, the relatively easy way, the hologram is hard to copy and most fake notes don't have it.

So there you go. Hope it helps!!

Check to protect

We make Canadian bank notes - literally. Protect your money and help prevent counterfeiting. How?

Watch bill security come to life. Pass your cursor over the numbers on the bill below.

Touch raised ink (5).

Tilt. Colour shifts in metallic stripe (1)and dashes (3).

Look through the bill. Hold it to light. Check ghost image (2) and puzzle number (4). Make sure dashes (3) form a solid line.

Look at the appearance and action of each security feature carefully.

What is TiLL?

It's a simple tool to help you remember how to check bills: Touch, Tilt, Look through, Look at.

Once you know it, you can check all the latest bills - the ones with the metallic stripe (five denominations - same security features).

Mr Hitler and his friends attempted to destroy the British economy by printing large quantities of high quality British banknotes. They did such a good job of it, that the Nazi Fivers were actually better than the Bank of England notes.

Subsequently, the Bank of England made a number changes from 1945 including thicker paper and a metal thread running through the notes. There would also be a number of discreet points of identity about the water mark.

The genuine Bank of England 1947 Five Pound note has the Chief Cashier as K. O. Peppiatt, the Serial Numbers would have run from L03 to M71 and the notes were 212 x 135mm.

Should you remain unconvinced, take your note to a reputable coin dealer who will be able to conclusively identify your note and give a valuation.

From lessons learned during WW2, the Bank of England made a number changes from 1945 including thicker textured paper and a metal thread running through the notes. There would also be a number of discreet points of identity about the water mark.

The genuine Bank of England 1951 Five Pound note has the Chief Cashier as P.S. Beale, the Serial Numbers would have run from M72 to Y70 and the notes were 212 x 135mm.

The paper is usually a dead give away. They should have a feel about them that is unique to Bank of England banknotes. The manufacturing process of the Bank of England paper is a well kept secret.

Genuine banknotes should have a "water mark" which, if it exists at all on a fake, may be printed on.

Something about the note will not look quite right. Something will appear a little bigger or smaller than it should. The detail of the design, especially the smaller more intricate detail such as facial features, crowns, scrolls, etc. may be slightly different, the fonts used may be different, the colours may be a little off.

The serial number used on a fake may not align with the signature of the Chief Cashier for that period.

Most fake banknotes do not survive close scrutiny. They are intended to be passed off as genuine in an exchange of cash at arms length.

If you were to go to the trouble and risk of forging banknotes, you might go for a larger denomination than Ten Shillings.

Try to get hold of a Bank of England banknote catalogue from your local library, or failing that, take your banknote to a reputable coin dealer who should be able to advise you.
