THE HISTORY OF THE COINS
The coins that are used in with the passage of time they are 2 catagories
c2) Islamic coins-: This coin system was started by the Arabs,Later on it was spread and used by the Mughals and the british's in 1947.
The state bank of Pakistan is the responsible authority in respect of viewing the the money in circulation.This is the central bank of Pakistan.
Those are coins that are currently using on but The coins was first introduced By Pakistan State bank in 1948.one Rupee coin were introduced first introduced in 1979.two rupee coins were also introduced in1998 and 5 rupee coins were also introduced in 2002.Later on the 2 and 5 rupee notes were also introduced and changed by the coins in 2006.
Here are some of the old notes that were used before my birth and some of them is used in the age too but I Taken those pictures from the net because of the fact that i don't have the old notes and coins.
Detecting a fake note
The state bank of Pakistan has made a clear cut view about detecting the fake currency notes in this respect the State bank has included some features in the notes by this way the normal person can also find out easily and have a diffrence between the fake and the original notes.These features are as under
1) Electrotype watermarks
2) Rainbow Printing
3) anti-scan areas
And there are some hidden features involve to it that makes it easier to judge between the fake and the original.
Some are the hidden features
1) The paper
The paper that is used to made the currency note is the special one and there is a thread that is used in the notes it can not be pulled out of the paper at any time.
2) The watermark image
Quaid-E-Azam image has been shown on the right side of the note,it can be clearly seen under the light and the water image as well.
3) Ultravoilet detection
Feature of the currency note when you pass a black or ultravoilet light over the currency note there comes a bluish light glowing from the note means the note is fake reject the note.
4) Checking of watermarks
Watermark colour is found on the right side of the note from the front.something is also written in the note ca be found written easily.This type of watermarks are not printed on the paper but can be changed by the thickness of the paper.
4) The security thread
There is security note in the currency note which can not be pulled out of the paper.The security thread shows a dark line and the word ' State bank of Pakistan ' is mentioned on the thread.
5) Optical Variable Ink
There is flage printed on the note with a crescent and a star on 500,1000 and 5000 currency notes.This is all printed by the OVI(optical variable ink )that changes colour from green to magenta and magenta to green,when it view from different angles.If the flage does not change its colour it means that the note is fake.
6) The printing colour
The ink that is used in it to print the note is very special that can not be swet or the note can be looked de-coloured.the fake note's ink always smudge's as the note wets even a small portion of it.
After almost one and half month i am writting a blog i am expecting the higher stars this time.Here are some the picture that i have taken from the net not mine because of the lake of picture of that type and also some idea is also taken from my friend he showed me book and his own ideas as well so its a complete package.
