Counterfeiting and banknotes go hand in hand. There are several conferences devoted to the subject of banknote anti-counterfeiting every year and even more that devote part of their agenda to this topic. 

One of the major responsibilities of central banks is to keep currency from being counterfeited. This involves creating robust anti-countering solutions for their currency…every couple of years. Once a new solution is implemented, the replacement for it starts being reseached. Part of any central bank's anti-counterfeiting strategy involves changing the technology, design and other components of the currency so that counterfeiters do not have time to crack the security.  

Seem exhausting? It does to us as well and InkSure is part of the process! We have spent many sleepless nights coming up with the next new thing in anti-counterfeiting.  That is why we identify with Andrea Firth, banknote scientific adviser at the Bank of Canada. Firth recently gave an interview to The Ottawa Citizen about the Bank of Canada's anti-counterfeiting efforts. Read the full story at Counting on Currency.
