The denomination of "1000 rubles": photo and description. How to recognize counterfeit bills "1000 rubles"

According to statistics, every third citizen of the Russian Federation was once deceived and had a fake banknote in his purse. And unfortunately, over the past two years, there has been a high growth of clandestine manufacturing of banknotes.

In order not to get hooked to counterfeiters and not to be deceived, you need to know exactly, for example, how the original bill of 1000 rubles looks. Further in the article we will tell about all the features of the mentioned banknote, and also we will reveal the nuances that will help you always be on the alert.

About the bill

Denominations of 1000 rubles in 1997 fell into circulation in January 2001. They depict the Russian city of Yaroslavl, and the dominant tone of the banknote is sapphire-emerald.

In 2004, its new version with enhanced security functions was released, but nevertheless the banknote still remained the most forged in the Russian Federation. That is why six years ago it was decided to release a third version.

The denomination of 1000 rubles 2010 differs gray-green color. According to the creators, it is she who has the highest level of protection and to falsify this banknote is almost impossible.

By the way, it is believed that large banknotes, including one thousandth, were issued only during the period of depreciation and hyperinflation of the ruble.

Kind of bill

Denominations of 1000 rubles in 1997 are made on snow-white cotton paper of the highest quality. In it fibers of a pale-green and red shade are introduced, and also alternating zones of burgundy and yellow color.

A denomination of 1000 rubles has also watermarks, which are located on both sides of the banknote. It is worth noting that vertically there is a safety strip with a repeating word, which can only be seen in the light.

As we said earlier, Yaroslavl is depicted on one side of this moneymark, and on the other - a monument to Yaroslav the Wise. The Bank of Russia logo is executed visually unstable paint (OVI). In addition, the bill has several machine-readable security features.

How to distinguish a real banknote from a fake one?

As already mentioned, most often there are counterfeit denominations of 1000 rubles. In order not to be deceived by counterfeiters, we recommend first of all to pay attention to the three most simple signs of authenticity:

• The color of the note;
• The location on its obverse of the monument to Yaroslav the Wise in the background of the chapel and the Yaroslavl Kremlin;
• And on the second side of the bills there is the church of St. John the Baptist and the bell tower.

Thorough verification of the banknote

It is necessary to recognize that it is not enough to pay attention only to the color and images on the banknote. Today, counterfeit notes of 1000 rubles are created so high-quality that it is simply impossible to distinguish them from the original. And most often fake banknotes are trying to sell where they are not checked on special equipment, for example, in the market or in a small store. That is why we recommend not to lose our vigilance here.

It is necessary to remember the following signs, which only fake denominations of 1,000 rubles have:

1. The city's coat of arms does not change its color under different viewing angles (on a genuine lilac note it is replaced by gray color).
2. Roughness of the note, as a result of microperforation (in the case of a genuine moneymark, the edges of the holes are smooth).
3. Protective fibers are not visible under the influence of ultraviolet rays.

In addition to the above features, a fake bill of 1000 rubles has other differences. On a fake banknote, watermarks may be present , but they can not be seen. In addition, often enough paint on fake bills crumbles.

Another sign of forgery is blurred and indistinct inscriptions that are executed inaccurately, but the serial number, on the contrary, seems unusually bright and clear. It is also worth remembering that the allegedly old bill of 1000 rubles, which, it seems, has long been in use, can be a fake. This is due to the fact that some counterfeiters are deliberately aging the banknote so that it does not arouse suspicion.

In addition, the protective thread in counterfeit denominations is glued over it, and in the original it is inside.

We recommend to remember the above signs of the original and fake banknote. This will allow you to avoid unpleasant situations and save your money and nerves.

The difference between the modified notes

It's no secret that citizens of the Russian Federation often accept old or new bills for a fake, because they do not know how the banknotes of another modification look. As we said earlier, samples of bills of 1000 rubles of different years of release differ among themselves. They changed three times. And we will try to tell in detail what exactly the old sample of the banknote differs from the new one.

The first visible difference is the color design. The 2010 denomination of the issue looks much duller than its old samples. The size of the denomination of 1000 rubles is 158 × 69 millimeters.

Another obvious change is the reduced visibility of the Yaroslavl Kremlin. In the last modification of the banknote, it can only be seen in the light. Specimens of denominations of 1000 rubles of 2010 are distinguished by a high level of protection against falsifications. Confirmation of this - the presence of metalized strips inside the banknotes on both sides.

Some statistics

According to statistics provided by the Ministry of Finance, in the mentioned year 60 thousand banknotes were checked, which had signs of falsification. Surprisingly, among them 40 thousand are exactly 1000 ruble banknotes.

Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to identify counterfeiters. To date, there are counterfeit bills in circulation, the total amount of which is about 30 million rubles.

The government of the Russian Federation is actively fighting against counterfeiters. So, over the past year, about 72 thousand counterfeit banknotes were liquidated, among which there were banknotes of various denominations - from 100 to 5 thousand rubles. For comparison - in 2008 the number of identified fakes was 13 thousand.

What if you found a fake bill in your wallet?

In case you checked the authenticity of the bill of 1000 rubles and found out that it is most likely false, then the following information is for you.

If you find that you have a fake banknote in your wallet, then you need to contact the bank. There you will need to draw up a written statement requesting an examination. In isolated cases, an employee of a bank may call internal affairs agencies to conduct an investigation.

In case of sending a bill for examination, it is necessary to ask for a certificate confirming that the banknote is being inspected. It usually indicates the name of the customer, place of residence, information about the bill and the date of sending for examination. The central bank should provide you with its result after the verification. This banknote will be returned to you, and the fake will be destroyed. The only drawback of the expertise is that it happens only on a fee basis.

What if you were given a fake bill?

If you were given a change, and among the other bills was seen as fake, then in no case try to give it to another person. Such an action is prosecuted by law. As we said earlier, in order not to doubt the authenticity of the banknote, you can send it to the bank for examination. If you are already sure that the banknote is false, then ask it to be replaced by the seller who issued it to you. And keep in mind that this can be done only after the purchase.

If the seller gave you the change along with the counterfeit money symbol, but does not want to change it, then you can safely turn to the police. It is advisable to have witnesses with you. The police will check the authenticity of the bill 1000 rubles. In case of its falsification, not only the store itself will be checked, but also its employees.
