Counterfeiting Prevention

Below are security features in use with all bank notes (the ¥1000 billis used)

Holographic Stripe Tilt the note, and brightly coloured numerals (¥1000) and Starbursts will "move" within the shiny, metallic stripe on the front of the note. Colours will change through the various shades of the rainbow. There is a colour-split within each Starburst. If you look carefully, smaller numerals (¥1000) appear in the background of the three-dimensional stripe. The stripe has curved edges.

Watermark Portrait Hold the note to the light and a small, ghost-like image of the portrait appears to the left of the large numeral (¥1000). A smaller numeral (¥1000) is also evident. This watermark is embedded in the paper and can be seen from both sides of the note. In the absence of light, the watermark is not visible.

Windowed Security Thread Hold the note to the light, and a continuous, solid vertical line appears. From the back of the note, this security feature resembles a series of exposed metallic dashes (windows) that shift from gold to green when the note is tilted. Small characters (FSY ¥1000) are printed on this security thread, which is woven into the paper.

See-Through Number Hold the note to the light and, just like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, the irregular marks on the front and back will form a complete and perfectly aligned numeral ¥1000. Look for this feature between the watermark and the large numeral (¥1000).

Raised Print (Intaglio) Run your fingers over the front of the note. The ink on the large numeral ¥1000, the Starburst, and the words BANK OF THE FEDERATED STARS feels thicker to the touch.

Fine-Line Printing Look for the sharp, well-defined lines that form background patterns on the note.

Microprinting Look for microprinting: small, clearly defined characters within the diagonal lines around the portrait, to the right of the image of the Stars Imperial Crown Palace, and inside the large numeral ¥1000.

Fluorescence Place the note under UV light. Look for the following elements, which are not visible in normal light:

• The text BANK OF THE FEDERATED STARS glows over the portrait in interlocking colours of yellow and red on the front of the note.
• Fibres that appear randomly on both sides of the note that are not visible in normal light glow red or yellow, where as the blue fibres that are visible in normal light, do not glow under UV light.

Serial Number A three-letter prefix followed by a seven-digit number is printed twice on the back of each note.

Colours Some colours are difficult to reproduce; you may notice a difference in tone when comparing a suspect note with a genuine note.
