The people buying silver coins on Dhanteras must keep certain points in mind. They are as follows:

1) Beware of fake coins - It is very auspicious to buy silver coin during Dhanteras. Hence the demand for silver coins in the market increases. On the occasion of Dhanteras, due to the high demand for silver coins, there is a lot of real and fake silver coins in the market. In such a situation, it can be difficult to identify whether the coin you are buying is real or fake. In such a situation, it is necessary to identify the silver coin.

2) Make sure the coin is new - One must make sure that the shopkeeper is not selling you the old polished coin. For this, carefully look at the edges of the coin whether it is worn or striped. If the sides of the coin are worn and striped, then understand that the coin is old and it is being sold by polishing it.

3) Hallmarking - Like gold, there is hallmarking on pure silver too, before buying a coin, definitely check it.

4) Check coin by dropping on floor - Try dropping the coin on a clean floor. If it makes a sound while falling, then understand that the coin is fake. Actually, the real silver coin is solid and when it falls on the ground, it does not filter but makes a sound. Therefore, this is the best way to identify real and fake coins.

5) Magnet testing - While buying a silver coin, take a magnet test on silver. Whichever coin you are taking, take it near the magnet, if the magnet is attracted to it then the coin is fake. Actually, silver is not a magnetic metal, so real silver will not be attracted to the magnet.
