How Are Banknotes Crafted to Secure Your Transactions and Combat Counterfeiting?

Material Selection

After the design is finalized, the next step is selecting the appropriate material. Most modern banknotes are made from either cotton paper or polymer. Cotton paper, which resembles fine paper, provides durability but is susceptible to wear and tear over time. In contrast, polymer banknotes are made from a type of plastic that is not only more durable but also resistant to moisture and dirt. The choice of material affects both the longevity of the note and its visual presentation.
