The 50 thousand Colombian peso bill is one of the most counterfeited in the country. In recent days, an alert has emerged about the circulation of counterfeit banknotes with the serial numbers BB48049786 and CA19283746. These have managed to pass detection tests, which has generated concern among merchants and citizens.
The characteristics of the fake 50 thousand bill with serials BB48049786 and CA19283746 are:
- Hologram: The authentic bill shows the face of Gabriel García Márquez and must have a shine and a clear image. With counterfeit banknotes, differences in brightness and distortions in the hologram image may be observed.
- Watermark: It is visible without the need for specialized lighting. On counterfeit bills, the watermark may not be clear or present.
- Paper texture: Counterfeit bills usually have a slightly thicker texture than genuine bills. Pay attention to this detail when touching the bill.
- Images and texts: In counterfeit banknotes, blurring and distortions may be observed in the visual representation of images and texts.
