It’s not just the higher denomination papers that are counterfeited, so it’s important to know how to verify them all.
It is known that in our country the dollar has an increasing value. People who have the possibility to save usually choose the US currency as a method of sheltering against inflation and possible devaluations of the peso. That is why it is necessary to know the security measures of each of the bills to avoid any possibility of being scammed.
While most people are looking for $100 bills, and specifically the “big face” ones (issued after 2014), there is also the possibility of buying copies of other denominations, after all they have the same value if used in the United States or in most other countries. That is why we will review the security measures of the $100 bill. 5 dollars.

Symbols, stamps and numbers: these are the security measures of a $5 bill
At first glance, the first security verification feature of a banknote is 5 dollars is the watermark on the right side of the paper, next to the portrait of Abraham Lincoln. When you hold the bill up to the light, you can see the watermark from both the front and the back.
Secondly, and also to the right of the portrait on the front, we can see the security thread which runs vertically across the entire paper. It has the letters printed on it USA and the number 5 in an alternating pattern. This thread appears blue when exposed to ultraviolet light.
One of the security measures that can be appreciated by touch is the relief printing. When you run your finger across the paper you should notice a distinctive, semi-rough texture.
Finally, and more difficult to observe, are the details of microprinting. These details may be words like FIVE DOLLARS, EPLURIBUS UNUM, USA and USA FIVE in very small print across the entire bill.
