Fake currency is an issue that you may have faced if you handle cash on a regular basis.

Most of us won't even realise if we receive a fake note — simply because we're in a hurry or don't know what the telltale signs are.

With the free Chkfake app, you can now check for common signs that help identify a fake currency note.

The app supports currency of various countries including the new currency notes from India.

Just search for the denomination of the currency note you want to check and the app takes you through a step-bystep verification process.

You are shown questions with a yes or no option accompanied by animations to help you look at specific areas of a note.

For India, these questions are based on guidelines available on RBI’s website to help identify counterfeit notes.

Once you answer all the questions, the app tells you if the note you are checking is fake or not.

We also liked that registration is not mandatory to use the app and there are no irritating ads.

Uh-oh! This is an exclusive story available for selected readers only.

Worry not. You’re just a step away.
