Overview
- Resolution 1240/2025, published in the Boletín Oficial on November 13, formally approves the “Guía de actuación–Detección de Moneda Falsificada.”
- The guide sets unified procedures for federal police and security forces to apply during operations across the country.
- It promotes the simple “toque, mire, gire” method for preliminary verification that yields a presumption of falsity pending a professional forensic exam.
- Currency-specific checks cover Argentine pesos, U.S. dollars, and euros, including tactile relief, watermarks, security threads, color-shifting ink, holograms, and 3D features.
- Prepared by the Dirección de Investigación de Delitos Económicos under Administrative Decision 340/24, the measure also serves the public and underscores that counterfeiting is a crime that undermines confidence and the formal economy.
