1. Create a new word processing document using the font Times New Roman and font size
12.
3. Enter the following text with an unjustified right margin and a justified left margin.
If you have a note which you believe is a counterfeit you must take it to the police
at once. It is a criminal offence to hold, or to pass, a note which you know to be a
counterfeit.
You can distinguish between the different denominations by size. For example,
the £10 note is larger than the £5 note. Each banknote has a portrait of a
different person on the back. Also, each banknote has a different symbol on the
front to aid the partially sighted.
Notes which are in a reasonable condition should be crisp. Raised printing, used
for some features, feels rough to the touch. This effect is most obvious in the
words ‘Bank of England’ at the top.
The watermark should be hardly apparent. When the banknote is held up to the
light, a clearly defined portrait of the Queen is visible. Lines should be sharp
and colours should be clear. Every genuine banknote has a metallic thread
embedded in the paper. When held up to the light, the thread appears as a bold
continuous line.
4. Enter your name, centre number and today’s date a few lines below the end of the text.
