Circular No. 2: Counterfeit 200 Euro Banknote
The Palestine Monetary Authority, referencing a warning from the Ministry of Interior’s General Police Directorate, issued Circular No. 2 to alert all operating banks about counterfeit 200 Euro banknotes circulating in the region. The directive mandates that financial institutions immediately disseminate the attached forensic verification guidelines to all staff to ensure heightened vigilance during cash handling. The circular details critical anti-counterfeiting features for detection, specifically highlighting watermark shadow variation under transmitted and oblique lighting, color-shifting ink on the numeral "200", and distinct ultraviolet fluorescence reactions.
