Should you suspect you have received a fraudulent note, you can take it to your nearest bank for validation.
Here are some elements to look out for when validating a note: A watermark formed within the paper; security thread running through the paper; when held up to direct light, it appears as a continuous line on which the letters “SARB” can be seen.
