Articles » Monetary units Euro

The Euro bills represent architectural styles of seven epochs in European culture: classical, Romanesque, Gothic style, Renaissance, baroque and rococo, architectural steel-and-glass style and modern architecture, of course. For all this the certain architectural structural elements as windows, gates and bridges are pointed out. Different denominations differ are contrasted by colour and size. The higher the value the bigger the bill size.
Different size and the main colours of euro bank notes along with the contrast colour denomination symbols enable the distinguishing between all the bills from the first sight. But you always need to consider all the characteristics in total in order to make a thorough analysis of a bank bill authenticity. The investigation of all combination characteristics only including the print and paper quality and the relief seal outlines on the foil allows to oppose with greater assurance to all possible printed or copied counterfeits. The majority of authentication tokens is wide-known by the circulating German marks.
It's possible to feel the paper and relief by touch, to see the watermarks, protective thread and sign visible while show through. Rotating the bank paper the holographic images on the foil, colour change and nacreous patches on the reverse appear visible.
THE PRINT QUALITY
As well as the German marks the Euros are produced with the help of different printing processes. The bank bill reverse is produced with the help of leveled high quality; the obverse undergoes the deep engraving print. The special colour effects are the result of the grid print.
Deep engraving seal
Some obverse elements are made traditionally in security printing with the help of deep engraving seal. The specific relief is obvious by touch in the main part, especially in the copyrights line (enhanced deep engraving seal).
Deep engraving seal - peculiarities for visually challenged people
200 and 500 euro bank bills provide better value identification for visually challenged people. They are of the same height and supplied with the clearly recognized details more deeply engraved.
Ultraviolet fluorescent offset colours
Some details of reverse and obverse design glow in ultraviolet rays. The main tricky part to imitate is the exactness in fluorescent red and green colours transition at the European flag on obverse. The euro bank bills peculiarities obvious under the UV rays can be tested by the devices used for German marks control nowadays (at the shopping malls, for example).
Optically alternative colour

Nacreous (iridescent) stripe
Bank bills reverse of low denomination, form 5 to 20 euros, possesses the light golden nacreous stripe which is also called iridescent stripe seen in the sunlight if rotate the bank bill. In stripe blanks the euro symbol and denomination number is recognized.
Note visible while show through
The irregular ex facte printing elements in the white blank of a bill unite into the denomination number while show through.
PAPER QUALITY
All the euro bank bills distinctive features relating to the paper quality become visible under the ultraviolet light of fluorescent fibre and while seeing through.
The watermarks and protective thread
The constituent paper part (the cotton fibre is traditionally used for money) are the watermarks:
- watermark with a picture depicts the main motive in light grey colour;
- "wired" watermark represents the contrasted denomination number and is lighter than other printing elements;
- vertical stripes form the stripe watermark representing automatically readable code.
It's possible to read the currency name EURO in minitype and denomination number in microtype looking at the protective thread, the integral part of paper.
HOLOGRAPHIC FOIL
Special foil elements
The bank bills of high denomination (from 50 euros) possess the special foil elements called patches. Every element has a peculiar side design. The main element is a hologram where the architectural motive and denomination number seen depending on the view angle. Besides, the foil patches include mini- and microtype and seeing through one can notice the euro symbol in foil perforation.
Foil stripe
Foil stripes represented on the banknotes of small denomination only (20 euros and less) contain the same characteristic features as the special elements on the bills of high denomination. Though the hologram here depicts the euro symbol and denomination mark in turn.
AUTOMATICALLY READABLE CODES AND SECRET INDICATIONS
The plenty of secret characteristic features of bank bills provides for fail-safe acceptance by accounting machines and other bank devices. Besides the ATM cash output process won't be problematic especially in the view of the ability to install the mechanisms for euro bank bills beforehand (from May 2000).
The banknotes are provided with the specific secret features assisting the US national central banks to identify counterfeits automatically by means of special bill processing devices given by issuing banks.
Thus the counterfeit is complicated by the various distinguishing features of euro bills as well as the special system preventing forgery: invisible details impede the euro bill issue by the high quality copiers and computer programmes.
