In this interview, Yana Kisselova-Weckerle, Product Manager for Security Threads at Louisenthal shares exclusive insights from a joint research with the Banco de España and the University of Valencia. She reveals why security features with high-reflection and controlled dynamic movements are essential for reliable banknote authentication, even under difficult lighting conditions.

Key topics:

• The perception gap: Why high-reflection mirrors outperform holograms in public recognition.
• Proven durability: Ensuring banknote security features survive years of circulation without losing their visual impact.
• Design psychology: Using emotional narratives to make security features memorable and intuitive.
• Strategic value: How scientific research reduces counterfeiting risk and strengthens public trust in cash. 

For central banks, the challenge is not just creating a complex banknote security feature, but one that is simple, attractive, and memorable enough for the public to trust.
