$10 notes 'not fake'

The Monetary Association of Singapore (MAS) has reassured members of the public that the lighter coloured $10 notes are real.
They are from the first batch of a limited supply of polymer bills printed in 2004, when Singapore first launched the notes.
Even the signature on the note is different.

The old note is signed by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who was the Chairman of the Monetary Authority
of Singapore until 2004. The new note is signed by Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, the authority's current chairman.
Last week, Shin Min Daily had reported that the police had received five reports of counterfeit $10 polymer notes used to pay for goods at shops last month.
This led to concern from members of the public regarding the authenticity of these notes.
A spokesman from MAS said there have been two print runs of polymer $10 notes - the first in 2004, and then again in 2008, reported the Straits Times.
He said the discolouration of notes from the pioneer batch should not be a cause for concern.
HOW TO SPOT A COUNTERFEIT
* Quality of material Counterfeit notes are of poorer quality than genuine polymer notes.
* They are also shinier and more reflective.
* Security features: The counterfeiters usually miss out on smaller and trickier details such as the watermarks, micro-prints and embossed prints.
