WHEN FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION...

Learning to Use The CheckMate on Canadian $

Begin by familiarizing yourself with real Canadian money and observe the moiré (wavelike) effect produced when you examine the bill under the CheckMate.
Note: - Real bills are uniform in quality. Counterfeits are inconsistent and vary in the quality of the paper and the printing method.

On the Front of the Bill.

  1. Place the CheckMate horizontally flat on the bill over the portrait so that the top of the CheckMate lines up with the top of the bill. Notice the distinct moiré (wavelike) unbroken line patterns on and around the portrait. Example A.
  2. Rotate the CheckMate slowly to a vertical position over the portrait and watch how the moiré pattern shifts from area to area.
Example A
Real Candian $100
Real currency viewed
with The CheckMate

The CheckMate will reveal

a very strong, clean, sharp and clear moiré patterns on and around the portrait on the bill. See circled area in Example A.

On the Back of the Bill

  1. Place the CheckMate horizontally flat on the bill. Line up the top left hand corner of the CheckMate with the top left hand corner of the bill. Note the four distinct moiré patterns in the letters "CAN" of the word "CANADA". Note: - The patterns you see will be the same for all denominations. ($5, $10, $20, $50 and $100).
  2. Rotate the CheckMate slowly to a vertical position and watch how the moiré patterns shift within each letter. Notice how the background moiré pattern beneath the word "CANADA" also will shift from area to area.
Example B
Real $50
Real currency viewed
with The CheckMate

The CheckMate will reveal

distinctive sections of line patterns (1, 2, 3, 4) inside each letter in the word "CANADA". See Example B.

Background moiré (beneath the letters) patterns will stay clean, sharp, clear and no broken moiré lines.

HOW TO USE THE CHECKMATE TO SPOT FAKE BILLS

  1. Examine the BACK of the bill; the letters "CAN" in "CANADA" then the FRONT "PORTRAIT" on the bill.
  2. Place the CheckMate horizontally flat on the bill. Then, rotate the CheckMate slowly to a vertical position.
  3. Examine the moiré patterns (see examples above).
IF THE MOIRÉ (WAVELIKE) PATTERNS ARE
THE BILL
MAYBE A
a) Lacking distinctive sections of line patterns on the letters in the word "CANADA" (Example D)
COUNTERFEIT
b) An all over wavy lines effect - either vertical or horizontal (Example C and D)
COUNTERFEIT
c) Weak, faint, broken lines or unclear moiré on the portrait on the bill (unlike Example A)
COUNTERFEIT
d) Weak, faint, broken lines or unclear moiré on on the bill (Example C)
COUNTERFEIT
e) Slight or NO moiré patterns on the bill

The bill is a suspected counterfeit if ANY (not necessary all) of the following occurs:

  1. Moiré (wavelike) patterns become unclear fuzzy or broken.
  2. A weak faint unclear moiré on the portrait on the bill.
  3. Slowly rotate the CheckMate around revealing an all over wavy lines effect - either vertical or horizontal lines. See Example C and D -show allover horizontial lines.
  4. Slight or NO moiré patterns on the bill.
  5. The letters in the word "CANADA" are lacking distinctive sections of line patterns.

Remember: Counterfeits are inconsistent and vary in the quality of the paper and the printing method.
