Default New online petition for Brits who use money

http://www.petitiononline.com/scotnote/petition.html



We the people of Britain would like to see the security futures on
Scottish Irish and English (£50) notes to be improved to make it
harder for Counterfeiters to copy, As far As I can some Scottish Banks
notes do not visible silver strips Watermarks or more importantly
Holograms.

Since the New English notes (£5 £10 £20) came out with Holograms it
had become much easier to check if a bank note is real because it can
be determined by the reflection on the hologram and by the intricate
cuttings around it. Scottish notes appear to have no holograms, Micro
lettering, UV lettering or on some notes sewn in Silver strips.

They do have strips of metal on the inside, on the notes that have
strips that aren't sewn in, but this cannot be seen unless held up to
the light, and it can be reproduced fraudulently without it being
obvious that it is in fact two pieces of paper glued together on
higher quality fakes.

I was myself was a victim of thinking that if there is a solid black
line down the middle when held up to the light and it doesn't look
like it is two pieces of paper glued together then it must be real.
:chainsaw: I found out the hard way after having a closer look at the
note later on.

I have also notice that in recent years most of the counterfeits I
have seen here in England are Scottish so therefore they must be seen
by forgers as a soft touch.

Improving the security of Scottish note would also improve the
credibility and usability of Scottish notes in the rest of the UK.
