Continuing to spread information to prevent scams, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing provided details about this copy.
While it is true that in our country Savers are only looking for $100 bills, It is important to know the security measures present in all banknote denominations to avoid being victims of counterfeiting. That is why we replicate the information disseminated by the United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP).
This agency is part of the Department of the Treasury and, together with the Federal Reserve, is carrying out an information dissemination campaign to inform the entire population about the security measures in place for their banknotes so that anyone can verify their authenticity.

These are the security measures on the 10 dollar bills
One of the main features that the organization that designs and issues banknotes usually uses is the color changing ink. The number 10 in the lower right corner of the bill therefore changes from copper to green depending on the observer’s perspective. That is why by moving it you can check if that ink exists. Another easily visible symbol is the watermark which can be seen by holding the bill against the light to the right of the portrait and the stamp. This watermark is visible on the front and back of the dollar.
In this specimen, the security thread The characteristic symbol appears to the right of Alexander Hamilton’s portrait and runs vertically across the entire bill, cutting the word DOLLARS in half, which can be seen at the bottom right of the portrait. Inside it, the initials USA and the word TEN can be seen. It appears orange when exposed to ultraviolet light.
A characteristic that can be verified by touch is the relief printingwhich gives a certain rough feeling when passing the finger over the bill. Finally, the details of microprintingwhich can be seen by paying close attention to the bill or by using a magnifying glass. The details show the words THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, TEN DOLLARS and the initials USA.
