The banknote of 5000 rubles is the largest banknote in Russia.

Insufficient knowledge of the signs of the authenticity of a banknote or an inattentive attitude towards them turns into material losses for us, especially considering that this is the largest banknote in denomination.

The Bank of Russia periodically improves banknotes, strengthening the protective functions, therefore today there are two types of banknotes with a face value of 5000 rubles in circulation:

1. 5000 rubles of the 1997 sample - has been in circulation since 2006.
2. 5000 rubles sample 1997 (modification 2010) - has been in circulation since 2011.

In order to minimize the risk of receiving a counterfeit bill, it is best to check at least three or even five security features of the bill's authenticity.

A denomination of 5,000 Russian rubles is the largest banknote of the modern Russian Federation. It is not uncommon and is actively used in all areas of financial turnover. And yet, only a few can boast that they even partially remember its distinctive features, or, moreover, are able to distinguish counterfeit banknotes of 5000 rubles. Given the value of big money for counterfeiters, it would be useful for every Russian citizen to learn or remember once again how to distinguish a 5000 bill from a fake.

History of the banknote

The modern banknote first saw the light in 2006, but on the territory of modern Russia a banknote of this denomination was issued more than once.

From 1918 to 1922, a kerenka with a double-headed eagle on the back became a way to provide citizens with money of a convenient denomination. At that time, there was a major depreciation of the domestic currency, and if at the time of issue 5000 was the largest denomination, then by the end of the use of this banknote, its denomination became a trifle (photo).

A similar situation occurred in a difficult time for the country in 1995. Literally in a year, the bill depreciated hundreds of times, and lasted in this format for only three years. In 1998, a denomination took place, as a result of which the 5,000 ruble bill (photo) turned into 5 rubles (by the way, the design remained the same). Three years later, the banknote was replaced with a coin.

It is worth noting that money of this denomination was issued not only by official government agencies, but also by unofficial structures and even separatist organizations.

The modern banknote saw the light for the first time in 2006, and it was a banknote of 5000 rubles of the old sample of 1997. A limited edition was planned for the wealthiest regions, but the new money quickly spread and fell in love. Moreover, not only to citizens, but also to counterfeiters, therefore, already in 2010, new protection schemes were developed, and in 2011 introduced, which raised the cost of banknotes by 24%. The measures turned out to be effective, the number of fakes decreased significantly.

What you need to know about the banknote 5000 rubles

Counterfeit banknotes of 5000 rubles are not always of good quality, especially for settlements on the periphery. Most often they come across in the markets and in stores without special testing equipment. In a large flow of buyers, sometimes there is no time even to really look at a banknote in the light, not to mention identifying other signs of authenticity. This is what scammers use. To recognize the most crude fakes, it is enough to know the physical parameters of banknotes and carefully examine a sample of a 5,000-ruble bill.

Banknote size in cm

Traditionally, banknotes are measured in millimeters, however, by eye, few people are able to determine the size in this way. It is easier to find out the length and width in centimeters, so the eye will quickly cope with the task of determining the correct size. The size of the banknote of 5000 rubles in cm: 15.7x6.9.

There is no such thing as marriage. If there is a suspicion that the bill that came across is fake, measuring it with an accurate ruler is the easiest way to identify inconsistencies.

How much does a banknote weigh

It is unrealistic to check the mass of a banknote without special high-precision scales, however, it will not be superfluous to know how much a banknote of 5000 rubles weighs. The new banknote weighs from 0.65 to 1.02 grams, however, the weight can change during operation within the error, both up and down.

It is easy to calculate how much a million rubles weighs in 5000 banknotes - a maximum of 204 g. It will fit into your pocket. To carry away the amount with nine zeros, you need to strain harder, the answer is how much a billion rubles weighs in 5000 bills - 204 kg. And this is without taking into account the weight of bank bandages. By the way, in a pack, unlike a common misconception, there are not 100, but 1000 banknotes (5 million rubles). Money is first packaged in the so-called. roots of 100 banknotes, and already they are in packs of 10 roots.

Other external characteristics

The banknote belongs to the urban series - both sides depict views of Khabarovsk. On the front part you can see the city embankment and the monument to Muravyov-Amursky from 1891. On the right is the coat of arms of the city. The reverse side of the banknote depicts the Khabarovsk bridge across the Amur. The main palette of images on the banknote is red-brown, but there are also separate fibers of several colors (red, gray, blue, light green) woven into the structure of the paper.

How to distinguish from a fake

The banknote of 5000 rubles was and remains one of the most counterfeited. This is explained simply: despite the complexity of the fake, the result pays off. The only reason why Russia has not been flooded with counterfeit is the complex system of protective equipment used by the Mint to ensure the safety of using banknotes. It is easier to forge five thousand old-style rubles, on which modifications have not yet been made that complicate falsification.

The sample of the 5000 ruble banknote after modification significantly complicates the work of counterfeiters with a more developed system of security marks. Among them are those visible to the naked eye and those that appear to the light or to the touch, as well as visible only at a ninefold magnification.

Bill modification 1997

To protect yourself from the risk of receiving or, even worse, selling counterfeit banknotes, it is worth remembering the main (obvious) signs of genuine money:

• the line written in convex Bank of Russia Ticket”, next to which there is an unpainted embossed fragment of the drawing;
• perforated denomination mark;
• continuous inscriptions barely visible to the eye against the background of images of 5,000 and 5,000 CBRF;
• security thread;
• a pattern barely noticeable to the eye on the back of the banknote;
• visible only under a magnifying glass image of animals, plants and inscriptions of the Central Bank of Russia on the second bank of the Amur River;
• kipp effect: turning the banknote, you notice the PP symbols clarified against the general background.

Police services and other public authorities and law enforcement agencies are primarily interested in the literacy of the population in this matter, therefore, information about all the features of a genuine banknote is freely available. For everyone who, by the will of the profession or for some other reason, often deals with large denominations of money, it would be useful to keep a police memo on how to distinguish a 5000 bill from a fake. It is recommended to have it at hand, in the ideal case, even place it near the cash register or other place of cash receipt.

Conclusion

A counterfeit bill not recognized in a timely manner is a minus of 5,000 rubles from your wallet. Compensation for damage is impossible - neither the bank nor the state does this. But an attempt to play a scene similar to the one in which the scammers planted a fake is fraught with criminal punishment - article 186 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. If you didn’t even know that the bill was fake, the punishment will not be canceled, that’s how the criminal code works. Recognizing a fake, even of a very good quality, is really on your own, if you are attentive to the little things and know the information recommended for study by the police. 2-3 signs found are enough to protect yourself from counterfeit banknotes by 70%.

Money is an integral part of our daily life, it is impossible to do without it. In an effort to make a profit, some try to counterfeit banknotes, and most often these are large bills, in denominations of 1000 or.

Today, science is developing rapidly, new technologies are emerging, and with them the quality of fakes is improving. In order not to fall for the bait of counterfeiters, you need to know the main features of the protection of banknotes.

1. Paper. The paper of the original banknote specifically, loudly “rattles”. This is easy to verify if you shake the banknote.

2. Watermarks. To see them, you need to look at the bill in the light. Watermarks in the form of a portrait of Muravyov-Amursky and the denomination of the banknote immediately appear. Moreover, the watermark itself has a different brightness and changes the saturation from light tones to dark ones.

3. Security thread with holographic coating. The width of the thread is 3 mm., its edges are even, it seems to be sewing through a banknote. The thread is a dark stripe that changes color at different angles. Throughout its length, the denomination of the banknote is depicted, in simple and mirror reflection.

4. Micro-pattern on the entire surface of the banknote. If you look at a banknote under a magnifying glass or photocopy it, you can see a pattern in the form of sticks and geometric shapes on its clean margins. It is quite difficult to notice these patterns with the naked eye.

5. Microtexts. Various images are located throughout the banknote.

• The face value is 5000. The image is located on the upper part, it represents the number 5000 repeated many times.
• Text "CBR5000". Located at the bottom. The text is located on several strips from right to left and is repeated.
• Microtext "CBRF".

6. Convex elements. They are easy to detect by touch, easy to detect along the edges of the bill. In the upper part of the phrase "Bank of Russia ticket", in the left, for people with visual impairments, special symbols, lines and dots are applied. Embossed sticks are applied on the ends on both sides.

7. Changing the angle of view. If you tilt the banknote at different angles, some objects printed on it change color. For example, the coat of arms of Khabarovsk, located in the lower part, when tilted, changes color from green to purple. On the security thread, when tilted, you can see how the text runs on it.
If you know all these subtleties, it is easy to distinguish a fake. The absence of at least one element of protection should alert.

Verification methods

If there is any doubt about the authenticity of a bill, there are two ways to find out if it is real.

On one's own

You can check any banknote without special equipment, simply by determining the presence of all signs of authenticity. He will check the bill for light, identify convex elements, but in this case it is easy to make a mistake. For a more accurate determination, various devices have been created.

An ultraviolet detector is able to distinguish a fake. It is enough to place a bill in it and all the hidden elements appear on it.

Ultraviolet detector to check genuine 5000 rubles

The infrared detector has the same principle, but the hidden elements appear much more clearly, they are more visible.

UV detector

Combined detectors. They combine both methods of verification and are the most effective in determining authenticity.

With the help of bank expertise

Large banks have all the equipment necessary for verification. Only a qualified specialist is authorized to carry out the examination. For this, professional calculating machines are usually used, which are equipped with ultraviolet scanners. But the specialist himself will check all the signs, and only after that will draw up a conclusion on the authenticity of the banknote.

As a result of the check, a conclusion is issued in which all the information obtained during the study is indicated. You need to be prepared for the fact that if the bill turns out to be fake, they will seize it and file a statement with the police, and there they will already find out where it came from.

1. It's hard enough to fake watermarks. Usually they are simply printed on a banknote, such a fake is easy to identify in ultraviolet light, and if a fake is of poor quality, then simply by looking at the banknote through the light.

2. Oval, which is located on the left side of the front side of the bill, next to the image of the Muravyov-Amursky monument, should shimmer with stripes when the slope changes. This element is also imitated simply by printing the stripes on the printer, but when the banknote is tilted, they do not change their color.

3. Microperforation of the face value, represents small holes, of which 5000 are composed. In fakes, they are imitated by puncturing the holes with a needle, but bulges are formed on the reverse side, which are easy to determine by touch. In a real bill, the perforation surface is smooth on both sides.

Fake 5000 rubles

4. A security thread is imitated by applying it with a silver pen or gluing foil paper, but in the light or in the rays of an ultraviolet lamp, this fake can be distinguished.

5. Gluing. Today, a fairly common type of fake. Fraudsters simply cut, for example, nine 5,000 bills in a certain way and glue ten bills out of them. Such fakes can be used to pay for services through the terminal, or put on a card at an ATM. Devices are not able to distinguish such a fake.

What should I do if I receive a counterfeit banknote?

Counterfeit money can end up in anyone's wallet. If you come across this and cause you suspicions, you must:

1. Contact any branch of the bank. Here they will seize the banknote and conduct an examination within a few days. Based on its results, they will find out if your banknote was fake. If it is real, but has signs of wear or some authenticity marks are not legible, it will simply be replaced with another one. If it is recognized as false, then an act is drawn up and transferred to the police for further proceedings.

The Central Bank has developed a system of identification marks, which is almost impossible to forge. Given this fact, attackers are still trying to cash in on people by counterfeiting banknotes. Not surprisingly, the most expensive banknote in Russia is a popular fake. In order not to become a victim of scammers, it is important to know how to distinguish a 5000 bill from a fake.

A 5,000th banknote must be checked for authenticity on at least three grounds

What does a real 5000 banknote look like?

Knowing the features that indicate the authenticity of a banknote will save you from hitting a person’s budget. Awareness will warn against possible proceedings with law enforcement agencies.

Below are seven main signs of how to determine the authenticity of a 5 thousandth bill:

1. Paper quality. Initially check the banknote by touch. If you slightly shake the banknote, it will emit a characteristic clear “crunch”. Fake sounds dumb.
2. Watermark. Look carefully at the bill by substituting it under the light. Real 5000 rubles have a watermark on one side of the fields in the form of the depicted head of the Muravyov-Amursky monument and a digital denomination on the other side. The transitions of the contours of the portrait are smooth, do not have clear boundaries. The number 5000 is also located near the portrait of the statesman's head. It is the lightest part of the watermark.
3. Security thread. The original currency is protected by a 3mm security thread. A feature of which is a "diving" look: five dotted parts appear on the surface on the reverse side of the banknote. When viewed under light, the thread takes the form of a dark stripe with the repeating number five thousand inscribed in the outline. The numbers are displayed lighter than the bar itself.
4. Perceptible signs. Special designations make life easier for blind people. They also need to know. The original bill has a convex mark in the lower left corner, which consists of two dots and three stripes. In the upper right corner you can feel the inscription - "Ticket of the Bank of Russia."
5. Microtext - the presence of inscriptions in small, barely noticeable letters and numbers on different areas of the banknote. Above the coat of arms of Khabarovsk there is a repeating number 5000. The same numbers are repeatedly inscribed at the bottom (symmetrically). The lower part of the reverse side is protected with microtext "TsRB5000". In the outline of the mountains in the background, among the representatives of the animal world and flora, one can find the abbreviation "CBRF".
6. Perforated mark. In other words, a mark made with the smallest holes. Namely, the inscription "5000" in the right corner of the front side of the denomination. The markings are made with a laser. Therefore, the location of the inscription on real 5000 rubles should be smooth to the touch.
7. Changing the viewing angle. When the banknote is tilted, certain elements change color and shape:

• on the ornamental ribbon, the letters “PP” are visible in a dark tone when viewed at eye level; turning the currency, the letters become a little lighter;
• the emblem of the city of Khabarovsk changes color from golden to crimson when turning the 5 thousandth bill;
• turning the banknote reveals iridescent stripes of a single-color space inside the oval area.

Be sure to check the banknote for at least three signs.

Such a measure will help to timely detect a fake, even of good quality. Caution will reduce the likelihood of getting a fake 5000 ruble note by 70%.

There are certain signs of a counterfeit banknote

How to recognize a counterfeit 5000 bill

Despite the multi-level protection of the five thousandth bill, not everyone knows how to distinguish a fake. Based on the above signs, you can quickly recognize a fake. Enough mismatch at least one. Comparison is desirable to carry out in good light.

Together with the information received, it is useful to find out what a counterfeit banknote looks like:

• there are no or barely noticeable watermarks (they are not visible under the light inside the bank ticket, but on the surface, the edges have irregularities);
• the absence of microperforation or its presence with tactilely noticeable roughness;
• numbers of counterfeit 5000 banknotes do not match;
• the emblem of the central bank does not change color when tilted;
• numbers on a white background denoting the denomination do not shine;
• there is no protective metallized thread;
• moistening the banknote, the paint is washed out;
• it is impossible to read the microtext;
• loose not "crunchy" paper.

The presence of similarity in one of the points indicates the invalidity of the bank ticket. Additionally, you can check the size of the bills. The size of the bank's original banknotes is 157 mm long and 69 mm wide.

Serial numbers of counterfeit banknotes of 5000 rubles

Serial numbers are printed on the front. They are applied with a special printing form, by pressing the paper on both sides. First there are two letters, then eight numbers. On the banknote of the modification of 2004, they are located on both sides of the 5 thousandth bill: on the right, in dark green font with a gradual increase in the size of the numbers, on the left, the serial number is made in red characters. With the 2010 modification, the situation is reversed: on the left, the symbols are dark green with gradually increased numbers, and on the right, symbols of the same size are red.

Popular counterfeit banknote numbers 5000 are of the same type. There are already many examples on the Internet, fake numbers and series. The list of the most common is given below:

AM 310**	IL 437**	BA 403**	VI 774**	BV 588**	BA 714**
AB 567**	EM 536**	WB 735**	BA 263**	SA 987**	BM 241**
MA 410**	VM 478**	AB 397**	AM 502**	AM 789**	AB 687**
AB 263**	BA 387**	BV 538**	BA 587**	BA 697**	AM 397**

According to the information given by the PC and UEEB employees, the largest number of counterfeit banknotes of 5,000 rubles had the number 47 a couple of digits before the end of the serial number.

What to do if the banknote is counterfeit

For the security of citizens, the central bank has developed a whole system of identification marks for various banknotes. Law enforcement agencies are fighting with might and main against counterfeiters, trying to stop attempts to produce counterfeit banknotes.

However, mercenary swindlers are improving ways to counterfeit banknotes. Any person can have a counterfeit banknote. If a suspicious currency is found, one of the following actions must be taken:

• Contact the nearest branch of the bank. Employees will conduct an examination lasting several days. If the given banknote is real 5000 rubles, but “worn out” it will be replaced. If the 5 thousandth banknote is recognized as invalid, an appropriate act will be drawn up with further transfer to the police department.
• You can immediately go to law enforcement. Be prepared to testify - where and by whom the fakes were handed over.

Do not want to be involved in unpleasant proceedings, being completely sure that the banknote is fake? Burn the banknote or cut it into several pieces, throw it away. This is an undesirable measure. However, in this way you will save yourself and others from the temptation to use counterfeit money. 5,000 rubles is not worth the risk of being in the dock.

Do not try to sell counterfeit banknotes. Trying to get rid of a banknote by shopping or depositing into a terminal can be a criminal offense. The preventive measure is extremely severe - from 5 to 15 years in prison (Article 186 of the Criminal Code).

Many people use bank transfers, paying for purchases and services in stores and other establishments. But, almost everyone has cash in their wallet, some even have five thousandth bills. There are times when a person comes across a fake bill for various reasons. Therefore, you need to be vigilant, check banknotes immediately upon receipt at a bank, ATM, exchange in a store and other places, especially with a face value of 5,000 thousand rubles.

What is shown on the five thousandth bill

The original five thousandth bill has its own distinctive features. Fraudsters are trying to skillfully fake them. Such bills can be identified by touch, visually, using ultraviolet, infrared light.

Five thousandth banknotes began to be issued in 1918. Over time, their design has changed several times. Now let's figure out who is depicted on the front side and what is on the back of the banknote, which is now in circulation.

In 1997 a new banknote design was proposed. They have been in circulation since 2006. Since that time, banknotes with the design that exists today began to be used.

Since scammers have learned how to fake them skillfully, new modifications have been introduced - additional protection. Modified 5000 rub. put into circulation in 2011.

There are two types of banknotes currently in circulation. In terms of external design, they are almost the same, the difference lies in the protective modifications.
