PMG, the world's largest and most-trusted third-party authentication, grading and encapsulation service for paper money, was founded in 2005 and has certified more than 4 million notes. Its grading team uses a vast research library, specialized equipment and their combined expertise to detect counterfeit and altered notes.
Beginning in 2018, PMG has published a monthly Counterfeit Detection column in its monthly newsletter, sharing information about spurious notes. Examples include outright fakes as well as notes with an alteration to the serial number or date to make it appear to be more valuable.
