All same number, spelling mistake or what? The watermark of Thai King Phumiphol situated in the white space on the right-hand side of the note. The watermark can be seen if held up to light. Fake bills usually will not have this watermark. On the opposite side of the note, you will see six markers which have a metallic sheen. Fake bills will usually not contain this feature or, if they do, the markers will not have a metallic sheen. A genuine note feels dry and smooth. Counterfeit bills feel 'greasy' or 'slippery' due to the cheapness and freshness of the ink used to print them. The fiber of a genuine bill is sturdy and made with strong materials. A counterfeit bill uses cheap paper and is easy frayed or torn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
