Invisible and extremely difficult to forge: machine-readable security features like our magnetic MultiCode™ and their combination with visible features like security threads are the key to a secure cash cycle. Currency Analyst and Consultant Gerhard Hampp gives you the details.
Level 2 Security Features in a nutshell:
The security pyramid incorporates a mix of public (Level 1) and machine-readable (Level 2) features, with the Central Bank "M-Feature® System" (Level 3) providing the highest security.
Different security levels are essential for optimal banknote security. Level 2 features are especially important as sensors check them during transactions, detecting and removing counterfeits early.
Magnetism, particularly in security threads, is crucial for Level 2 security features, enhancing both visual appeal and machine readability. Technologies like MultiCode™ offer additional security layers.
Effective banknote design requires rules to ensure feature placement and integration to maintain integrity and functionality, preventing interference and ensuring machine readability.
