Tuesday Talk: Printing Banknotes... and hindering the forger Gordon Chesterman

This talk will focus on printing banknotes and the many varied features to try and hinder the forger. Banknotes still sit at the pinnacle of all printed products, each note passes through several presses, using steel plates still engraved by human hand. Despite most transactions now cashless, banknotes still have a role and, since we encounter them less often, forgeries are easier to pass-off, hence the need for even more sophisticated printed notes.
