Modern security features at Euro Banknotes
Magnetism detection
In the current notes of Euro-Series, so called soft-magnetic areas have been attached, which can be checked by the banknote counterfeit detector with a corresponding sensor.
Infrared detection
As one of the safest testing methods, the infrared inspection is used in banknote counterfeit detector. Here infraread sensors scan the surface of the bill and consider both, the presence and the nature of the infrared image.
Magnetic-code detection
Probably the safest feature of the current Euro-Series is the so-called magnetic-code. A sensor mounted on the security strip of magnetic code (similar to a bar code) is also for banknote counterfeit detector. If the code is decoded correctly, it represents the value of each banknote (e.g. 5 Euro).
