  1. FORGERIES

  2. Forgeries • Are documents made, adapted, or falsified with the intention of deceiving someone • Include checks, employment records, legal agreements, licenses, and wills • Fraudulence is when a material gain, such as money, accompanies a forgery

  3. Check Forgery • Checks can be altered in several ways, including: • Ordering someone else’s checks from a deposit slip • Directly altering a check (check washing) • Intercepting someone’s check, altering it and cashing it • Creating forged check from scratch

  4. Preventing Check Forgery • Print checks on chemically sensitive paper • Use a large font size • Use high-resolution borders • Print checks in multiple color patterns • Embed fibers in checks that glow under different types of lights • Use chemical-wash detection systems that change color when a check is altered

  5. Counterfeiting • When false documents or other items are copied for the purpose of deception • Traveler’s checks, bonds, and currency are the most often counterfeited items

  6. Counterfeit vs. Authentic Notice that the tiny intricate lines do not print well in counterfeit bills

  7. Detecting Counterfeit Currency • Counterfeit-detecting pens containing iodine (mark is yellow on real currency, but turns black with regular paper) • If bills have been washed, they will pass this test, so other criteria are needed

  8. Security Features Found in Currency • Portrait stands out from the background and appears raised off the paper. • There is minute microprinting on the security threads, as well as around the portrait. • Serial number is evenly spaced and the same color as the Treasury seal. • Check Letter and Quadrant Number • Federal Reserve seal with no sharp points

  9. Security Features Found in Currency (cont.) • Treasury seal with clear, sharp sawtooth points • Clear red and blue fibers are woven throughout the bill. Security thread is evident, consisting of a thin, embedded vertical line or strip with the denomination of the bill written in it. • Federal Reserve Number and Letter • Series • Check Letter and Face Plate Number

  10. Security Features Found in Currency (cont.) • Watermark appears on the right side of the portrait of the bill in the light. • When a new series bill is tilted, the number in the lower right-hand corner makes a color shift from copper to green resulting from color-shifting ink. • Clear, distinct background details and lines • Clear, distinct border edge
