Hologram As Security Feature On Scotland Bank Notes
21 07 2007Bank of Scotland will begin issuing a new series of banknotes in the Autumn. The series - the first new complete set of notes issued by Bank of Scotland since 1995 - will feature the common theme of Scottish bridges, including the magnificent Falkirk Wheel.
Some new security features have also been added to the new design. These include a metallic security thread embedded in every banknote, which contains the numerical value of the note and the note’s bridge image. A new hologram and foil patch has been introduced on the front of the £20, £50 and £100 notes, which features the Bank of Scotland logo and the numerical value of the note. Other banknote issuers, like Bank of England, have introduced the same kind of feature.
