Although we are seeing a decline in the number of counterfeit banknotes in the region, you should be careful when paying in cash and receiving change, – the press service of the head of the Bank of Russia Branch for the Republic of Crimea quotes Igor Tsvetkov. – If you have doubts about the authenticity of a banknote, you should take it to a commercial bank for a free examination.

You can check the signs of authenticity yourself. A special one will help with this chapter on the mega-regulator’s website, as well as the free mobile application “Banknotes of the Bank of Russia”. It contains information about all banknotes in circulation and their security features.
