Security Features

 The whole point of a bank note is to be secure. The whole point of a counterfeit is to match that security.

• We make our notes out of cotton based paper. This stops it reacting with iodine and ammonia in the pen tests.

• The paper is imported from central Europe in lorries, with the metallic thread already embedded.

• We use super High Definition templates and extremely high quality printers to incorporate micro lettering.

• We also use the printers to include the raised lettering.

• Another printer adds the UV ink to the note, with the 20 above the England and has small lines all over the note as well.

• A large roller presses the watermark in.

• Holograms are added and pressed in, allowing them to change colour when tilted.

• The see-through £ sign is present also.

 These are all of the main security featured as outlined by the Bank of England.
