Specimen banknotes are sample versions of real banknotes, produced primarily for educational, testing, and display purposes. They are not legal tender and cannot be used for transactions.

• Marked as “SPECIMEN”: Typically, the word “SPECIMEN” is overprinted or punched (perfin) onto the banknote in a prominent manner, often in large, red letters, to clearly differentiate them from genuine currency.
• Special serial numbers: Many specimen notes have unique or readily identifiable serial numbers, such as “99999999999” or “00000000000”, according to Wikipedia.
• Limited production: Unlike regular banknotes, specimens are produced in smaller quantities, which often makes them valuable to collectors.
