The war against counterfeiting is ongoing, and central banks are constantly innovating to stay ahead of counterfeiters. A recent report by BestBrokers, a platform that assists traders in making informed decisions, has revealed the top 10 hardest currencies to counterfeit in the world.

The report examined the 39 most traded currencies by value in 2022, analyzing the highest-circulating banknotes in each country for 2023 and ranking them according to the number of security features. The experts also determined the number of counterfeit notes per million genuine ones in each country.

The results show that the 100 Swiss Franc ranks number one on the list, with an impressive 20 security features. The Indonesian Rupiah, Euro, Australian Dollar, and Polish Zloty follow closely, with 17, 16, 16, and 15 security features, respectively.

These security features include innovative technologies such as holographic patches or strips, 3D security ribbons, microprints, and color-shifting inks. The use of a special combination of cotton and linen fibers in traditional banknotes also makes them difficult to replicate.

The report highlights the importance of central banks' efforts to enhance their banknotes with advanced security measures. According to BestBrokers, currency counterfeiting averages millions of bills every year, making it essential for central banks to stay ahead of counterfeiters.

The top 10 hardest currencies to counterfeit in the world, as per the BestBrokers report, are:

1. Swiss Franc (100) - 20 security features

2. Indonesian Rupiah (50,000) - 17 security features
