To avoid any kind of confusion or scam, it is good to remember the ways to verify whether the copy is real or fake.
Between the United States Federal Reserve (FED) and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) The US Treasury Department is carrying out an information dissemination campaign to prevent fraud with all banknotes issued by its banks.
On different official websites of the agencies, they have listed each of the security measures so that anyone can recognize if a dollar bill is true or false. This time we will talk about the $20 coin, with the portrait of the seventh American president, Andrew Jackson, on the front.

These are the security measures on the 20 dollar bills
The first seal of verification is the color changing ink. If you tilt the bill you can see the 20 in the lower right corner change from green to black depending on the perspective when looking at it. The second feature is located to the right of the Treasury Secretary’s seal and is the watermark which replicates the portrait and can be seen on both sides if the paper is exposed to backlight.
Then, being a little more observant, to the left of the portrait and crossing right through the center of the numbers 20 in the left corners appears the security thread. The words USA and TWENTY are printed on the inside, as well as a small flag. If illuminated with ultraviolet light, it appears green.
Another important detail is the relief printingwhich can be checked by touch. When you run your finger over it, you should feel a distinctive, somewhat rough texture. Finally, there are details of microprinting along the bill are the words USA 20, TWENTY USA and THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, which can be seen by paying close attention to the paper or with the use of a magnifying glass.
