PERU'S 10 SOLES BANKNOTE TURNS GREEN

The Central Reserve Bank (BCR) recently presented a new version of the 10 soles bill, although from first glance it would be hard to tell.

While the change may not appear to be drastic, the renovated bill is now painted a stronger green which will ideally help for better and easier identification.

“Now its predominant color, green, is more intense and differentiated from other members of the current family of banknotes,” said BCR in a statement.

According to El Comercio, the new bills will be integrated into circulation along with the current 10 soles bills starting Wednesday.

The news agency points out the following attributes to differentiate the old from the new, and the real from the fake:

• The Watermark should clearly show intense dark contours.
• Upon tilting the banknote the figure should change from fuchsia to green.
• Also, turning the ticket should reveal hidden numbers in the main figure.
