5. Counterfeiting is the act of making phony money that looks official. It is a very old crime but recent
advances in printing have made it possible for even amateurs to produce decent counterfeits. Fortunately,
there are some ways that you can detect counterfeits. The first and most telling inspection is to pay
attention to how the money feels. It is difficult to reproduce the texture of real money. If the money feels
suspect, look carefully at the microprinting on the bill. Many features along the portrait and border of a
genuine bill contain writing that is too small to reproduce in most printers. If you are still suspicious, hold
the bill up to the light and look for the strip that says the value of the bill. With a little diligence, you can
keep yourself from becoming a victim of this rising trend.
