Last Updated on June 25, 2020 Posted by Colonial Acres Coins

Many countries around the world have decided to add interesting features and innovative design ideas to their paper money. The area that has been worked on the most concerning currencies is security where a lot of measures have been taken to prevent counterfeits. Also, a lot of attention has been paid to help the visually impaired by adding certain features to paper money that make it a lot easier for people to identify. So, it is evident that currencies around the world are becoming pretty innovative since both the aesthetics and security measures are taken into consideration. Read on if you want to find out how different countries have upped their game when it comes to their national currencies.

The Israeli New Shekel: Added Features For The Visually Impaired

In order to aid the visually impaired, Israel added raised ink on the governor’s signature that can be seen on the banknote. As a result, the signature can be felt, making it easier to identify but more difficult to counterfeit. These banknotes have different lengths that also serves to help the blind and visually impaired. That is how Israel came up with an innovative way to put a stop to fake currencies once and for all.

The Australian Dollar Is Pretty Difficult To Counterfeit

When it comes to advanced security measures, Australia is known for its complex currency design and certain paper materials used that are very hard to counterfeit. The material used for the bills is called polymer, has a wax-like texture and was first introduced by Australia on its banknotes. Because it contains wax it actually makes the banknotes waterproof as well. The $5 banknote has a visual rolling effect, a cool little feature that makes the image appear as if it’s moving.

Chinese Yuan: Anti-Counterfeiting Strategies Taken To A Whole New Level

Chinese money features brilliant anti-counterfeiting strategies that work impressively. After a lot of counterfeits being made of the Chinese yuan, the 2005 edition introduced gold on the paper money and involved high-tech features that even ATMs found hard to recognize.

The Vietnamese đồng Introduced Advanced Microprinting Technology

Vietnam came up with a sophisticated currency design that involves advanced microprinting technology that can be seen on the detailed line drawings. In addition to that, this paper money prevents counterfeiting thanks to the security codes featured in these banknotes.

Canadian Paper Money Has See-Through Elements

In 2018, Canada announced its plans for a new look of the ten dollar bill. Not only did it involve see-through elements but it also had a vertical alignment. The design included Violet Desmond, a black Canadian woman who was a civil rights heroine. To prevent counterfeits, a single of polymer is used for each banknote which also adds to the longevity of the paper money.
