Securing banknotes always requires more innovation to face counterfeiting.

Anima™, a world class micro-lenses security feature, allows central banks to incorporate a highly secure thread to their banknote family: both complex, yet easy to authenticate by the end user.

The imagery generated for Anima™ effects are 100% customisable: foreground combined with background effects as well as a wide selection of colors, tailored per each denomination offer the central banks 
particularly interesting narrative design options.

The integrated optical elements eliminate issues of thread soiling and allow varnishing of the banknote.

By choosing Anima™, a secure and durable technology, central banks create confidence in banknotes.
