Security Features:
The new naira notes have several security features to prevent counterfeiting, including:
- Watermark: A transparent image of the portrait of the featured personality is embedded in the paper.
- Security Thread: A thin strip of paper with a unique pattern is embedded in the note.
- Color-Shifting Ink: The color of the ink changes when the note is tilted.
- Micro-Printing: Tiny text and images are printed on the note using a special technique.
- Raised Printing: Certain elements on the note, such as the portrait, are raised to provide a tactile sensation.
These new naira notes are designed to be more durable and resistant to wear and tear, and are expected to reduce the incidence of counterfeiting in Nigeria.
