Oh, and the president.. There was a sh 1000 note doing the rounds with Bifwoli Wakoli's picture on it. Please note that that too is a fake. I didn't need to scratch his blazer to discover ... ;-) Anyway, I wish you all a genuinely happy 2010! -- Ndungi Kyalo On Mon, Jan 4, 2010 at 3:19 AM, Solomon Mburu Kamau <solo.mburu@gmail.com>wrote:
Alternatively, using your nails try to feel the president's blazer by rubbing it gently. If the texture is rough and doesn't peel off, whether a new or an old note, then it is genuine.

@Imelda: fold the note and rub its surfaces together real hard. If it is kawaida paper you'll know instantly. Also get some real notes from the bank and compare the textures. Real money has a particular feel that you cannot mistake.

Hi Everyone ,
I watching one of the local stations and they were talking about counterfeit notes in circulation ,
i was shocked to learn that how good the fake currency are and not easy to detect ...normally i used to check for the lion and the the eyes in specific
then would know the currency is genuine or not ...apparently the fake notes have that too..
so any one with ideas on how to check if a note is fake or genuine will be really helpful
thanks

Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way to the side of a hill!
