The National Bank of Ukraine warns of detected cases of counterfeiting of 20-hryvnia banknotes of the 2003 model, Ukrainian News reports. The counterfeit banknotes are glued together from two sheets of smooth toned paper, the tone of which practically does not differ from the original. The watermark (portrait of Ivan Franko) and the light element of the watermark (the numerical designation of the denomination - "20") are imitated by printing on the inner side of the glued paper. The security fibers of the banknote are not reproduced, the microtexts are only partially legible. According to the National Bank, the counterfeit banknotes are printed on a color inkjet printer, and the details of the images are unclear. The National Bank warns banks about the possible presence in circulation of counterfeit banknotes of this denomination with similar signs of falsification. Earlier, the National Bank warned banks about cases of counterfeiting of 100-hryvnia banknotes, as well as 20, 50 and 200 euro banknotes. As an official source with reliable information told us, in 2004 in Volyn three cases of counterfeiting of 100-hryvnia banknotes were recorded and once a brand-new counterfeit 20-hryvnia banknote of the 2003 issue appeared.
