That means one should be sensitive to the touch of the banknote when carrying out a transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also need to observe the gold foil on the right side, close to the CBN governor\u2019s signature. One can also differentiate the genuine naira note from counterfeit by applying liquid to the note, and a fake currency can easily change colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the ribbon-like thread on all Naira notes can also be observed and touched to confirm if the note is genuine or otherwise. One can also raise a naira notes on a mercury bulb. This exercise enables the one to see many features of the local currency, not visible to the naked eyes, among others.<\/p>\n\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-47326\" data-postid=\"47326\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-47326 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has posted a statement on its website unveiling security features on the new banknotes.
