HOW TO DETERMINE
IF YOUR NEW
PHILIPPINE PESO
BILLS ARE FAKE OR
GENUINE?

THE NEW PHILIPPINE BANKNOTES OR

PESO BILLS ARE NOT SMOOTH BUT A
LITTLE BIT ROUGH TO
TOUCH BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE OF
COTTON AND PHILIPPINE ABACA.

The serial numbers of the new Philippine

Peso bills are composed of one or two
prefix letters and six to seven digit in
asymmetric or increasing size.

Red and blue fibers embedded in the

banknote paper glow under ultra violet
light. You can see this glow when you
use a money detector device.

The watermark shows the shadow image of

the portrait and the banknote's denomination
on the blank space when viewed against the
light from either side of the note.

The word Filipino written in Philippine

ancient "Baybayin" alphabet can be
seen in its complete form when
banknote is viewed against the light.

When the banknote is rotated in 45

degrees and tilted downwards,
a concealed denominational
value can be seen super-embossed
on the smaller version of the portrait.

Viewed against the light, both the 20

peso and the 50 peso notes have
embedded 2mm wide Security
Threads that can be seen with the
banknote is held against the light.

A 4mm wide stitch-like metallic security

thread can be seen in 100, 200, 500 and
1000 peso notes.

Viewed from
different angles, the
color of the 4mm
wide metallic
security thread
changes from red
to green.

The front of the thread carries in

clear text the initials of the
BSP together with the numeric
denomination in repeated series.

Likewise at the back of the security

thread is printed the initials of the BSP in
repeated series.

The 500 and 1000 peso bank notes

now have the optically variable
device patch, reflective foil.

For the 500 peso, the

reflective coil bares
the image of
the small BSP
logo and the Bluenaped Parrot.
While the 1000 peso
bill, the reflective coil
carries the image of
the small BSP logo
and the south-sea
pearl.

A security feature exclusive for the 1000 peso

bill is the optically variable ink for the
embossed denomination value on the lower
right corner of the face of the bill. It changes
color from green to blue when viewed from
different angles.
