Banknotes

All banknotes are made from paper inherently coloured vivid crimson due to a durable, sunlight- and solvent-resistant pigment. This pigment reveals a bright yellow glow under UV light, adding an extra layer of security verification. Additionally, where this pigment interacts with a specially developed black ink from the mint, it emits a cobalt blue glow under UV light. Another security feature is the use of transparent ink that, while invisible in regular lighting, is used to print intricate geometric patterns and serial numbers on both sides of the banknotes; these only become visible under infrared light, further safeguarding privacy and security.

The banknotes also incorporate several advanced security technologies:

  • Raised Ink: Adds a tactile element that helps differentiate genuine notes from counterfeits.
  • Watermarks: Designed to be visible when held up to light, these are complex and difficult for counterfeiters to replicate.
  • Holographic Layers: These dynamic features change appearance with the angle of view, providing a visual authenticity check that is hard to forge.
  • Precision Printing: Ensures crisp, clear detailing in the banknote's design, which is complicated to reproduce without sophisticated equipment.

Furthermore, the durability and resistance of the banknotes to various solvents not only enhance their lifespan but also serve as a critical security tool. The banknotes are engineered to withstand tests with harsh solvents like alcohol, acetone, chlorinated agents, and hydrogen peroxide, which are part of routine authenticity checks. This solvent resistance is employed as a method to detect and neutralize counterfeit notes. Genuine notes retain their integrity and appearance even after such testing, while counterfeit versions may deteriorate, thus confirming their illegitimacy.
