According to the CNB, the easiest way to distinguish banknotes is based on the width of the silver stripe, which is the security element that intersects the banknote vertically. The difference is also that the strip is not only thinner, but its color does not change when tilted. In contrast, the strip on banknotes that remain in circulation is not only thicker, but when tilted, its color changes from brown-purple to green. Some other protective elements are also different.
