To test a £20 note for forgery try the following:
1.
Run your finger over the words 'Twenty Pounds' at the top of the note.
A genuine one will have rough, raised lettering .... a 'badun' won't!!!
2.
Look at the silver hologram.
It should have both the £20 & Britannia with her shield ... a 'badun' will only show the £20.
3.
Feel the paper.
This can't always help but if it feels wrong ... it probably is.
Tell your customer you feel it's not right & don't accept it.
