Paper, plastic money to eliminate fraud?
With considerable technical progress by the industry emerged with the printer's
exact colors automatically, in addition to modern imaging machines, the process
of forgery of money easy, do not require much effort, and entered this area many
adventurers, which was a special category of adult artists Who have the talent
for the transfer of micro-image drawing hand.
All nations are faced with waves of currency counterfeiting, whatever
precautions are taken complications in the printing of paper currency, but they
find that fraud rings could overcome the obstacles the new technology.
Alarming statistics
Statistics show that the counterfeit securities, particularly from
the dollar currency worth billions of dollars distributed and spread
around the world and seeks for all the fake dollar fraud, because
the currency market for all over the world, so it is easy to global
market without the sergeant appointed examiner
And although the means of detection of counterfeit money has evolved
a lot and become accessible to shops, but that did not stop fraud or
limits, in 2000 has been reserved worth 39 million dollars in the
United States of America by selling points and Internal Trade, and
rose Figure in 2001 to over 47 million dollars, that is fraud in the
expansion and prosperity, and this figure more than 40% of what it
was frustrating distribution of counterfeit currency in 1995 and
before.
Plastic is the choice!!.
Australia has succeeded in manufacturing currency paper is made of
plastic chips, which are several significant advantages, including
that it can be washed, not affected by bacteria, living longer, up
to more than five years of heavy use, compared to one year in the
life of the current use of paper currency sustainability.
In addition to the most important feature in the paper, plastic is
the difficulty of counterfeiting that were not impossible at the
technical level at the present time, as the currency is composed of
segments of plastic on top of each, making it difficult to fake the
only well-being follow-up colors, forms and drawings that imitate
copycat-like.
Australia had to precede the world this new medium, as the exposure of fraud in
the currency has greatly impacted on the economy and confidence in the money
transferred and working among the people.
The Australian experience has all the standards, but is finding it difficult to
spread in other countries of the world for several reasons :
1 - The ATM system is designed to touch type of paper, so the transition to
touch plastic means the completion of this round, and the transition to a new
industry are very expensive, automated teller Vmkain present and in the service
worth billions of dollars, and replacement cost times the current value, and
some The view that combating fraud is less expensive than switch to plastic
money.
2 - The process of change must be gradual, and this can be achieved with modern
machines in counting, and counting, that is, there is a time in which efforts
will be redoubled if you want to move to plastic currency, for example, money
counting machines do not fit current counting plastic money , Since any scratch
in the plastic currency would lead to the destruction of paper counting
machines.
3 - There will be a problem in several currencies exchange of one machine, there
are many countries, progress currencies other than the currency, such as Hong
Kong made currencies, and some countries provide the dollar with currency, so
industry must unite the two currencies, in order to conduct a single machine.
Plastics come!!
In spite of the obstacles to industrial large and expensive, but the trend
towards plastic money is moving towards acceptance, considering the experience
of the United States of America limited to plastic money in the coming years, at
the same time there are attempts to develop the automated teller machines to be
able to work either way, because this solution The contract would help much on
the acceptance and deployment at minimal cost.
The Canada it will work on the experience of printing currency is large groups
of dollars Fifty per cent of plastic paper, an experiment, to see the problems
and benefits, before moving to the next phase.
The European Union, after the united currency, is considering moving in the next
phase of the experience of plastic money in the experience of comprehensive and
universal.
Industrial solution
There are more than twenty special printing money in the world, which banknotes
of the world, and some government specializing in local currency, some working
for other governments, and these companies and commercial printers began future
is concerned about the emergence of plastic paper, so many of these printing
presses began research With the large chemical plant, however, more efficient
plants Kodak imaging, to provide plastic currency which can not be forged, and
can not be depreciated heavy use.
They say that the money printing presses plastic is inevitable, and the currency
will be rolling in the second decade of this century
