    Note the brown ink-written signatures and serial number on the genuine vs. the black printed signatures on the copy.

    This is probably the quickest and easiest way for a non expert to tell genuine from copy. And it will work for about 90% of copies, which have printed signatures that should be written.

    Just watch for good color photocopies. On these, the paper is the best indicator and you need to know what the genuine paper should look like. It should never look like white copy paper. This may cover about 9 of the last 10% of copies out there.
