Counterfeit Dinar

Is there anything that you can see with the naked eye to determine if your Dinar is real or counterfeit?
I bought mine from a few different places and with some of the counterfeit talk I was just wondering if you can check yourself.

There is a good post up in the dinar dealer section (I think) a month or so ago ... but couldn't lay my hands on it ... anyone remember where it was?

Hold it up to the light, you should see some watermarks like a horses head
and a vertical line there are other things i dont remember what they are.

been searching, but haven't found anything on it. I thought I read something on it awhile back, but don't remember what people were saying, or what to look for.

I see the horse head, didn't know what else to look for

There is something visible only under UV, metallic ink ... I think micro-printing, and some other stuff ... I don't remember it all either ...

Learn how to spot the Fakes! Are you sure your Iraqi Dinars are not counterfeit? A Counterfeit Dinar
can be hard to detect unless you know what to look for. Below, you’ll
find pictures of the Dinar complete with all the counterfeit measures to
help you determine if your new Dinar is a fake or the real thing.

Counterfeit Dinar’s Alive and Well!

According to AFP and General Secretary of the Interior Ministry, the
Bulgarian police discovered an organization creating counterfeit dinars
based in Sofia. The police seized what they believe to be the first
counterfeit Iraqi dinar ever found.

This is a very serious matter, especially with internet sales of the Dinar growing at an incredible rate. Exactly how many fake dinars
exist is not known, but you can reduce your chances of receiving
counterfeit Iraqi money by using your credit card and avoiding money
orders, check or other methods.

Protect yourself against Counterfeit Iraqi Money

Why Credit cards? When you purchase Iraqi Dinars using your card,
your CC company offers a grace period in which you can refuse payment;
all you need to do is simply look for counterfeits and make a call.

Counterfeit Dinar Tricky to Spot

The tricky part about the counterfeit Dinar is that they have most of
the counterfeit measures mastered, but not all. Chances are, the fake
Dinar will have inlaid gold thread and watermark, but not the raised
letters or black light ink.

Unfortunately, because the Dinar is still new, circulation of the counterfeit Dinar will continue to rise. Counterfeit Dinars can be discovered by looking for:

• Lack of watermark on the counterfeit Dinar.
  
• Missing security thread on counterfeit Dinars
  
• Absence of Raised letters on the Dinar
  
• Counterfeit Dinar will not glow under an ultra violet light (variable ink)
  
• Dinars without metallic ink.
  

1) Use black light to test for watermarks such as the horse head;
Black Light bulbs are usually available from any hardware store.

2) Use a special pen to detect fake bills with changing color – available from your local office supply store.

3) Hold the 25,000 and 10,000 Iraqi Dinar up to a light tilting it
back and forth, the color changing ink will look much like a hologram.

Counterfeit or Damaged Dinar


If you receive a Counterfeit Dinar or Iraqi Money that is damaged, consider the following:

The Central Bank of Iraq states that “The CBI may confiscate without
compensation any banknotes that have been written on, painted on,
overprinted, stamped or perforated, or to which adhesive matter has been
applied.”

This link will show you visual features to look for on the 25K bill.

UV light bulb and a adjustable stand desk lamp from Walmart worked best for us, but there are also UV pens at some of the office supply stores to check for counterfeit currency.

Great job all ... sometimes you know you have seen the info, but just don't have time to look for it. Just getting back home now ... good thing tomorrow is Saturday! :cheers:
