The European Central Bank reported that, although there was a relative increase in counterfeit banknotes in 2023, the overall level remains historically low. This demonstrates that the single currency continues to be robust against counterfeiting, with the probability of receiving a fake being statistically remote. The concentration of counterfeits in the 20- and 50-euro denominations reveals specific criminal patterns, while the majority of detections occur within the eurozone. This geographic and denominational distribution helps to understand where surveillance efforts are focused. This report is relevant to open data, as it illustrates how transparency in economic security statistics enables citizens and specialists to analyze the integrity of financial systems. The publication of these data fosters accountability and public education on how to identify vulnerabilities through accessible information.
