What is "funny" about Funny Money (by Rudolf van Renesse) Print
Issue 20, 2006

The gap between genuine and counterfeit banknotes

What is noteworthy about banknotes apart from their face value? It is the beauty of their printed art! Each banknote is a piece of art, and even if you personally don’t like the picturesque aspects of certain banknotes, maybe because an ugly and sombre celebrity stares at you, or maybe because the banknote only depicts dull fantasy architecture, there is still the craftsmanship of the designer and the printer that make that unappealing banknote a genuine piece of art. In fact, the superior printing quality of banknotes, the diversity of security technologies implemented and the advanced security value of these technologies, make an abyss yawn between the genuine banknote and even highly professional counterfeits. The counterfeiter simply cannot cope with the printing quality and the diversity and elevation of the security features incorporated. If only the consumer would realize that every banknote is in fact an artistic and highly secure treasure, unambiguously revealing its genuineness on adequate inspection, counterfeiters would not stand a chance to have their immoral merchandise successfully distributed.
