Have you ever found any Counterfeit Banknote?

As we are all aware, new 50-euro banknotes have been introduced recently with new security requirements that inhibit their counterfeiting.

These new elements are:

• A hologram which is visible from both sides in banknote, with a portrait of Europe, a mythological figure.
• The number 50 at the bottom of the banknote which changes its colour now.
