A month ago we got our new Canadian 20$. I just get my first some days ago. I was just checking it since then. This is a really beautiful piece of work. Many flashy features and probably one of the securest money on earth. While checking it, I had an interrogation by remembering what some peoples say about it. Check out his accessibility features<\/a>. One of them consists of a series of symbols formed by raised dots separated by a smooth surface to help blind people. The problem is that many people think that this is a security feature<\/a>.<\/p>\n To understand the treat you need to have in mind that people will usually rely on only one simple security feature to discover if the bank note is a real one or a counterfeit. It’s normal that they’ll not check every security measures. If they think that the raised dots is a security feature of the bank note, and also think that this is a simple feature to check, he’ll rely on it to discover the validity of the note.<\/p>\n The problem is that this feature is really easy to forge; anybody can do it. So, if you counterfeit money, add this ‘security feature’ and give it to seller that rely on this feature; you’ll be able to pass it for real money and your goal will be reached.<\/p>\n Another inconvenient is that these dots will eventually disappear. If you have a legitimate 20$ with erased dots and that the seller think that this is a false one because the dots are not present then you’ll have some inconvenience because he’ll not accept it as legitimate and he’ll possibly call the police.<\/p>\n Finally, another time, the only way to erase the treat is by educating people specially them who manipulate a great load of money in their work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New Canadian dollars A possible psychological security treat A month ago we got our new Canadian 20$.
