The expected ones 10,000 peso billsofficially in circulation since May 7, are already delivered on a large scale in banks and are increasingly becoming present in everyday payments of the population.
These papers, which pay tribute to María Remedios del Valle and Manuel Belgrano, quintupled in value to those who were previously the greatest.
Therefore, it is now key for all consumers and merchants learn as soon as possible to recognize If someone is trying to give them a fake copy.
To facilitate this task, the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA) included in the design different elements that help quickly verify its authenticity.
“The new $10,000 bill has strict security measuresincorporated through special printing systems,” indicated the BCRA during the launch.
These characteristics are, in fact, very similar to those used in the previous banknotes of the family.”Heroines and Heroes of the Homeland“: the $2,000 ones with Carrillo and Grierson and the new $1,000 ones with San Martín.
The 5-step method to verify the authenticity of a $10,000 bill
The security measures are characteristics that are included in the tickets because they are complex and expensive to replicate for counterfeiters. These are details that, therefore, do not usually appear in trout replicas.
So, whenever a ticket is received, it will be advisable to carry out a series of rapid tests tactile and visuals to make sure all the signs of authenticity design.
A practical method to do this test with the $10,000 bill is to follow five Steps: tap the exemplar, tilt itlook at him backlightingobserve it close up and – if there are still doubts – under light ultravioletas will be explained in the remainder of this note.
Step No. 1: touch the bill
As with dollars, the real bill has somewhat rough areas: Therefore, if it is too soft or slippery, you should be wary. But also if it is perceived as excessively rough or rigid.
Specifically, in the forehead of the $10,000 bill, the first tip is to run your finger over certain parts that should have a noticeable relief, due to its intaglio printing. Mostly:
- The Pictures from Del Valle and Belgrano.
- He number “10000” larger, half blue and half green.
- He green text that says “CENTRAL BANK OF THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC”.
- He identification code for people with vertical edge blindness.
The same relief must be perceived in the reverse of the bill, when touching the representation of the Flag Pledge.

To the tilt a real $10,000 bill – forward and backward, right and left – certain elements should have motion and color changes. Which are?
–The sun-shaped motif. Located at the top right, your ink changes color from gold to green. Furthermore, a three dimensional effect It makes the element shine in different parts.
–The security thread. It appears displayed in three sections or “windows”, while in others it is covered by paper. The important thing is that when you tilt the bill, the red segments should shine and have a dynamic effect.
Step No. 3: look at the bill against the light
When looking at the bill with the light behind it, other security measures appear. Photo: Guillermo Rodríguez Adami.Then you have to raise the bill and observe it with light behind either flush, whether solar or artificial. This will allow you to verify other very important security measures:
–The watermark. In the lightest part of the bill, against the light, the portraits of Del Valle and Belgrano should appear with the initials “M.V.” and “M.B.“.
–The reason for complementation. Next to the watermark, in the lower left corner, a number “10000” vertical that looks like half paint It finishes coloring when observing the bill in front of the light.
–The security thread. Against the light, instead of being segmented, it appears as a continuous band which bears the initials “BCRA”.
–The latent image. In the lower right corner, on a blue motif, the initials “R.A.“when the bill is looked at grazing light.

Step No. 4: look at the bill very closely
Real $10,000 bills, in turn, have words and numbers printed on microletters so small that they can only be distinguished with magnifying glass or putting your eyes very close to the paper (for those who have very good eyesight).
If there is not sharpness In these elements, it is most likely that the copy is apocryphal.
What do the microletters say? They repeat many times “BCRA10000“.
Where to look for microletters?
Two parts of the $10,000 bill with lowercase letters and numbers.–On the front of the ticket. In the jacket flap of Belgrano and also on the lower edge of the blue motif which is at the bottom right.
–On the back of the bill: in the representation of the Flag Oath, within the mast and in parts of the mount of the horse.
Step #5: Look under ultraviolet light
If there are still doubts, you can expose the specimen to ultraviolet light. By doing so, the unique number of the bill, which appears twice on the reverse, should have a noticeable variation.

-He horizontalin the upper right corner and in black ink, is illuminated yellow.
