FEEL
COMPARE
MOVE/TILT
LOOK
The Paper should feel stiff
and crisp, not limp, waxy
or shiny.
Always compare both
sides of a suspect note to
one that you know to be
genuine. Any difference
will become apparent
more easily.
If you tilt notes bearing a
hologram, the images and
colours change depending
on the angle of
observation.
Watermark
Each family series of notes contains a multi-tonal portrait
watermark matching the printed portrait subject.
On the back of Bank of
Scotland Bridges Series
£5 and £10 notes, tilt the
note to see the gold
iridescent shimmer.
Thread
Each family of notes also contains a security thread, which shows
as a continuous line when held up to the light
See through
Each family of notes has its own see through feature. When held
up to the light, the clear area of the feature fills in with colour.
