Last year, when the government introduced new design of currency notes it claimed that these notes were of improved design and it was impossible to make a counterfeit note of the same design.
A number of people made the hullabaloo over the identical size, colour and design of Rs.20 and Rs.5000 note. Reportedly, many people have spent Rs.5000 note considering it a Rs.20 note because of the similarity between them. Government, on the other hand gives the example of the US currency where all the notes are of the same size, shape and colour and still people are not mistaken while spending money.
Whereas the new currency notes are very unimpressive and of bad quality, their counterfeits have also been made especially the market is flooded with counterfeits of Rs.100 and Rs.500 currency notes. Please be cautious while taking these notes.
