Micro-Optics
The first micro-optic banknote security feature was introduced by Crane Currency more than ten years ago. It consists of millions of microscopic lenses – and got the name MOTION® to express the stunning visual effects when moving and tilting the banknote.
Today, their unique 3D security threads are used by central Banks all over the world for intuitive authentication and counterfeit prevention.
PROFOUND™ from Crane Authentication is based on the same eye-catching technology and the use of sophisticated material science knowledge and purpose-built production technologies.
