Indian Counterfeit Currency Detection

The counterfeit currency printing rate has been increased with the progress of color printing Technology. Some people are printing fake currency using some laser printers. Therefore, the counterfeit currency notes production instead of the original currency notes has been rapidly increasing. This requires an efficient system that identifies the counterfeit currency note and displays the result. This paper developed a system consisting of image preprocessing, gray-scale conversion, image segmentation, edge detection, feature extraction, and comparison modules. The currency note is scanned and the scanned image is used in the modules. The outcome of the system will foretell if the note is counterfeit or genuine.
