Designing a banknote is much more than just creating beautiful artwork. It is a complicated puzzle of functionality, security and artistry that a designer needs to be able to solve.
Metallic and shiny details on banknotes – the “Bling” effect” – are becoming the counterfeiters’ best friend. They are getting better at replicating these effects and people tend to only notice the shiny features.
The new Bahamas 100 dollar banknote is one of the most secure banknotes in the world with technology such as MOTION SURFACE ® micro-optics.
