Bank of Russia Banknotes 1.5.1

This mobile application serves as an interactive tool designed for exploring the banknotes in circulation issued by the Bank of Russia, along with their respective security features. Users can leverage the app's capabilities to search for specific banknotes within the comprehensive catalog or utilize their device's camera to scan an image of a banknote, identifying its denomination and modification year.

Currently, the application is equipped to pinpoint security features present on 1,000-ruble notes, 5,000-ruble notes modified in 2010, and 2,000-ruble notes. It is essential to note that while the application does not authenticate banknotes automatically, it provides guidance for individuals to conduct their authenticity checks independently, without requiring any specialized equipment. This assistance is delivered through on-screen instructions that empower users to perform verification techniques—including checking security features in transmitted light, employing a magnifying glass, tactile inspection, and observing note tilting; allowing users to become familiar with various security elements.

Facilitated by an intuitive guide, users can swiftly identify these security features on a banknote and ensure their conformity with the expected standards. For further insight on how to conduct a security feature assessment, users have the option to view video demonstrations or engage with interactive simulations that replicate real-world scenarios where they can tilt their screens side to side as they would with an actual note.

The application covers all banknotes issued by the Bank of Russia and provides detailed information regarding their security attributes. Users can access audio descriptions in Russian and English by clicking on the 'Listen' button.
