It is main problem faced by all countries all over the world and it is very difficult to find out the orginal and fake.With new printing technology,it is very easy to produce fake one.I am giving some tips to spot the fake one.
1)Paper:The quality of paper for fake note can be realise easily.Original note is print on a fine cotton weave and has a different feel from ordinary paper.
2)Water mark:To check it,hold the paper to the light.Real notes will have water mark in the paper.Duplicate have water mark on to the paper.
3)Clarity of printing:Fake note will have messy look and it lacks some details than the real one.
4)Hologram:Real note have high quality hologram compared to fake.
5)Serial No:Original notes have individual serial number.But,fake two or mote notes have the same serial number.

Thanks Sreeni, and original notes will have around 50 designs, whereas fake notes cannot exceed 30 designs.

That is a good tips you had shared, thank you.
Here is one interesting news I read regarding avoiding the counterfeit notes.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing of the Treasury Department of the United States releases a new 20 dollar note, aimed at defeating the technological advances of counterfeiters. The note is expected to begin circulating in the fall of 2003; which is 5 years since the last $20 note was released in 1998. New designs for the $50 and $100 notes will follow in 2004 and 2005. The most distinctive change in the new currency design is in color. It is the first U.S. currency since 1905 to include colors other than green and black. Different colors for different denominations will make it easier to tell one note from another, and more difficult to counterfeit.
