Security features were added the way it looks:

1. Paper quality -Banknotes are printed on special paper with raised lettering in some areas. Fake notes can sometimes feel limp or waxy
2. Print quality - Numbers, letters and colours are sharp and clear, whereas counterfeit notes may appear slightly blurred
3. Holographic strip - Pound symbol and figure 20 alternate when the note is tilted
4. Microlettering - Words printed below the portrait of the Queen are only visible with a magnifying glass
5. Metallic thread - Silver dashes on the back of the note become a continuous dark line when held up to the light
6. A see-through "register" shows a broken pound sign. The symbol becomes whole when held up to the light.
7. The watermark has been moved to a white panel to make it easier to find
Other - Some unpublicised "covert features" are designed to further deter counterfeiters

Psycho4Bud Reviewed by Psycho4Bud on . The new £20 Note - Or should it be Euro? Well, the new 20 pound note is shite. It looks more like a euro. I hate it. Us brits dont like change, and now they've gone and changed the £20 note. All the people i know think it's crap, and was much better before. But WHY did they change it? It looks more like a euro now than anything. I know this is something petty to get pissed about, but i like money - and now they've ruined it with euro SHIT i dont like paying for anything with them. It looks stupid. Rating: 5
