Paper and Feel

Euro banknotes are made of pure cotton fiber, giving them a firm yet slightly crisp texture. Authentic notes never feel waxy or soft — the paper rebounds gently when folded.

Watermark

Hold the note up to the light and you’ll see a portrait of Europa, the mythological figure after whom Europe is named, along with the denomination value. The watermark appears lighter and darker depending on the angle.

Security Thread

A dark line running vertically through the note contains microprinted text reading “EURO” and the denomination. When held against the light, it appears as a continuous dark band.

Raised Ink

Run your fingertips across the large numeral, the main image, and the edges — you’ll feel distinct raised printing. This tactile feature is especially noticeable on smaller denominations like €5 and €10.

Microprinting

Using a magnifying glass, you’ll see tiny letters and numbers around the architectural windows and bridges. These are sharp and clear on genuine notes, never blurred or smudged.
