The U.S. Currency Education Program

The U.S. Currency Education Program is an initiative by the Federal Reserve aimed at educating the public about authentic U.S. currency. It provides resources, tools, and information to help individuals recognize real bills and spot counterfeit notes. The program promotes understanding of security features like watermarks, color-shifting inks, and security threads, ensuring people can confidently handle and verify money. By increasing awareness and knowledge, it helps prevent financial loss due to counterfeit currency and supports the integrity of the national monetary system.
