Number of counterfeit money has decreased in Bashkiria
In Bashkiria, authorities discovered 26 counterfeit banknotes between January and September—1.5 times fewer than the 43 detected in the same nine-month period in 2024. According to the National Bank of the Republic of Bashkortostan, these consisted of 23 five-thousand-ruble notes and three one-thousand-ruble notes. For comparison, authorities found 622 counterfeit notes in the region in 2021.
"In recent years, the number of counterfeit banknotes detected—both in the republic and across the country as a whole—has remained at a minimal level. This is largely due to the growing share of cashless payments and improvements to the security features of banknotes," commented Liliya Yakupova, Deputy Manager of the Central Bank's Bashkiria branch.
