Identification of Authenticity and Nominal Value of Indonesia Banknotes Using Fuzzy KNearest Neighbor Method

Abstract

The existence of counterfeit money is often troubling the public. The solution given by the government to be careful of counterfeit money is by means of 3D (seen, touched and looked at). However, this step has not been perfectly able to distinguish real money and fake money. So there is a need for a system to help detect the authenticity of money. Therefore, in this study a system was designed that can detect the authenticity of rupiah and its nominal value. For data acquisition, this system uses detection boxes, ultraviolet lights and smartphone cameras. As for feature extraction, this system uses segmentation methods. The segmentation method based on the threshold value is used to obtain an invisible ink pattern which is a characteristic of real money along with the nominal value of the money. The feature is then used in the stage of detection of money authenticity using FKNN (Fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbor) method. From 24 test data, obtained an average accuracy of 96%. This shows that the system built can detect the authenticity and nominal value of the rupiah well.
