Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an anti-forgery system for paper money or other documents.
  • Conventional systems in this field substantially consist in printing the bank notes or documents on watermarked paper or in inserting a thin aluminum lamina in the paper.
  • the problem faced by the system according to the present invention consists in preventing the forgery of any kind of paper money or bank note, document of credit, or of any kind of document on a paper support to which it is applied, in particular to allow the safe identifiability of the documents of credit, bank notes or other documents.
  • This problem is solved by the system having the features indicated in claim 1.
  • the present invention comprises numerous solutions which constitute, even when taken individually but especially all together, an effective remedy against forgery.
  • Two or more concentric circles A, A1 made of steel or of another magnetizable material which can be detected by a magnet, are included in the paper in one or more parts of the bank note or document, for example in a central region to the right and to the left of the note.
  • the thickness is preferably approximately 15 microns but a different value may be selected, so long as it is adequate for the function; the diameter, which is of approximately 1 cm if possible, and the width of the strip, which is preferably approximately 1 mm, can indeed have different dimensions so long as they are adequate for the document or bank note.
  • a magnet or, in order to facilitate the operation, a rod with a magnet at one end or along a certain length (e.g. 8-10 cm) of said rod, close to the circles or to the continuous and discontinuous bands provided as described (made of material responsive to magnetic fields).
  • a neutral fluorescent yellow band also known as "invisible ink” band (see the figure at D), which can be seen only upon exposure to ultraviolet rays, is provided along the entire perimeter of the bank note or in another part of the document, whereas an interruption of said band in pale blue (e.g. approximately 2 cm, shown in the figure at E) is left without fluorescence, so as to be blue-violet under ultraviolet rays.
  • Said non-fluorescent pale-blue band E allows to rapidly sort the tickets or bank notes into bundles.
  • Any side serial numbers for example in bank notes, are made of visible fluorescent blue, so as to verify its possible alteration, such as in the case of money laundering, to allow comparison with a central serial number of neutral fluorescent yellow ink (so-called invisible ink).
  • the system according to the present invention also provides a particular kind of watermark, composed of four different thicknesses.
  • Two or more circles of different thickness are provided in one or more points of the bank note, even in a position which is concentric to the previously described steel circles A, A1.
  • the embodiment described herein includes an outermost circle with a thickness of e.g. approximately 110 microns and an innermost circle with a thickness of 60 microns; the paper, including the metal strips, has a thickness of 80 microns, whereas the intermediate parts vary between 70 and 100 microns.
  • the dimensions and geometrical figures generally suggested in the present description must be considered as variable according to the different requirements in the various fields of application and according to the discretion of the engraver or designer.
  • the system as described is applied during the production at the paper mill as regards watermarking and the application of the magnetic strips, and in the print shop as regards printing with the various fluorescent and non-­fluorescent paints.
