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.
