    It is necessary to notice that banknotes are covered by modern protective elements, which eliminate all possibilities of counterfeit, including attempts of issuing counterfeit banknotes. As an example, banknotes with denomination TJS 20, 50 and 100 covered by new laser element defense, and the last three serial number on kinegram are printed by a laser way. Interestingly the given element is one of the innovations in the field of issuing of banknotes. Unfortunately, at all times there are some people or group of persons, who anywise want to issue counterfeit banknotes into circulation and to mislead the people. However, as practice of last years has shown, the presence of many modern protective elements in banknotes essentially has complicated the work of criminals, and they couldn’t carry out criminal intentions.
