	LOOK at the banknote and hold it up to the light: the watermark, the security thread and the see-through register will then be visible. All three features can be seen from both sides of genuine banknotes.
	TILT the banknote: on the front of the low-value banknotes, you can see the shifting image on the hologram foil stripe.
	TILT the banknote: on the reverse side, you can see the brilliance of the iridescent stripe (on the low-value banknotes) or the colour-shifting ink (on the high-value banknotes).
