Bank of Russia Banknotes app analytics for December 13

This mobile app is an interactive tool for exploring the Bank of Russia notes in circulation, as well as their security features. You can find a specific banknote in our catalogue or use your device’s camera to scan a banknote or its image to identify its denomination and modification year. Now the application can locate security features on 1,000-ruble and 5,000-ruble notes modified in 2010, and 2,000-ruble notes. Please note that the application does not verify the authenticity of a banknote. What it does is help you to do it yourself - without any special equipment, simply by following the tips on your screen. This feature supports all banknotes. Security features can be checked in transmitted light, with a magnifying glass, by feeling or by tilting a note – and our app enables users to learn about each type of security features. Thanks to our easy-to-follow guide, users will be able to quickly identify these security features on a banknote and compare them to what they are supposed to look like. To learn how a security feature can be checked, watch a video demonstration or launch an interactive simulation allowing you to tilt your screen from side to side like you would do with a real note. The app features all Bank of Russia notes and gives details of their security features. Click the ‘Listen’ button for audio descriptions in Russian and English.
