Forgery

I want to talk about anti-counterfeiting and forgery of money this week.
Banknote paper is made in most countries, including Japan, are watermarked adjust the thickness of the fiber. There are also plastic banknotes in some countries of Australia. The bank is also present in a high-tech watermark or create a transparent window for it.
The first anti-counterfeiting watermark is first. Called "white watermark" and "black watermark" watermark technique is used to bill the current Japanese. If you want to produce a paper with a pattern on the certificate issued by the government and the bill in the watermark and white if you want to manufacture using the technique of watermark black regardless of the pattern by the "Act for the Regulation of Manufacturing Watermarked Paper" You do not have to get permission from the government.
The following is a hologram. Is a technique that changes color depending on the viewing angle and the visible image with the ones that draw a pattern using a laser beam to the metal foil with hologram.
Include fine print characters difficult to reproduce in print or regular print with ink that fluoresces when exposed to ultraviolet or near-ultraviolet light also. Some printing characters pattern emerges depending on the angle of view in the latent especially famous. There are countless Japanese banknote counterfeiting measures. The reason is because high technology to counterfeit.
May be altered, counterfeit coins are often not as much as the bill. Penalties for forgery, counterfeiting of coins in the Penal Code of Japan is a heavy sentence from the point of view of an international market for more than 3 years imprisonment or life imprisonment. Be punished by a fine in the control law such as monetary damage and damage to the coins as a resource for purposes such as diversion. Other bending the coin for a show of grip strength, act a hole for magic pendant or to be accused of. In addition, it should not be interpreted to be a crime in the country is able to damage the foreign coins.

Large-scale counterfeiting incident occurred two in Japan. There is a massive counterfeit incident over "one hundred thousand yen commemorative coins us sixty years reign Emperor" first. There were many people trying to forge get big profits by cashing counterfeit currency face value by casting for the price of gold was much lower than the face value of 10000 yen.
One is a 500-yen coin on another forgery case. Korean 500 won coins were slightly heavier material and size similar to the 500-yen coin in Japan. Or to defraud the change products and put into a vending machine to align the weight that you cut with the drill 500-won coin for about one-tenth of that value compared to a 500-yen coin, 500-won coin lever return on it incident to defraud a true 500-yen coin by pressing occurred frequently. 500-yen coin was elaborately crafted so hard to be forged in 2000 to change the material has been issued in Japan damaged.
High technology of the person you are trying to forge money much higher than any other country of counterfeit technology suggests. I thought that is forged repeatedly issued and will continue to work in the future.
Next week is about electronic money.

  1. I'm interested in the production of paper suitable for banknotes in the Meiji Era. Eventually there must have been a domestic producer of water mark paper. Did that paper require rag content? Is it possible to know which paper companies and or paper merchants supplied the paper?
