Currently, the preparations for a new banknote series for Switzerland are running in high gear. |
Watermarks can be easily seen as ghostlike images inside the paper when a banknote is held against the light. |
The chancellor appears before the court, reading aloud the words printed on a banknote. |
A shimmering iridescent image showing bauhinia flowers appears when the banknote is tilted under a bright light. |
The bank engraves banknote images into metal plates by hand and uses special inks and watermarks to prevent forgery. |
Thus do not drop a banknote into the collection plate, but a silk handkerchief or small silver snuffbox. |
