| |
| − | Traditionally, anti-counterfeiting measures involved including fine detail with raised [[W:intaglio (printmaking)|intaglio]] printing on bills which would allow non-experts to easily spot forgeries. On coins, ''milled'' or ''reeded'' (marked with parallel grooves) edges are used to show that none of the valuable metal has been scraped off. This detects the ''shaving'' or ''[[W:Coin clipping|clipping]]'' (paring off) of the rim of the coin. However, it does not detect ''sweating'', or shaking coins in a bag and collecting the resulting dust. Since this technique removes a smaller amount, it is primarily used on the most valuable coins, such as gold. In early paper money in [[W:Colonial North America|Colonial North America]], one creative means of deterring counterfeiters was to print the impression of a leaf in the bill. Since the patterns found in a leaf were unique and complex, they were nearly impossible to reproduce.[http://www.librarycompany.org/BFWriter/images/large/3.7.jpg]

| − | In the late twentieth century advances in computer and photocopy technology made it possible for people without sophisticated training to easily copy currency. In response, national engraving bureaus began to include new more sophisticated anti-counterfeiting systems such as holograms, multi-colored bills, embedded devices such as strips, microprinting and inks whose colors changed depending on the angle of the light, and the use of design features such as the "[[W:EURion constellation|EURion constellation]]" which disables modern photocopiers. Software programs such as Adobe Photoshop have been modified by their manufacturers to obstruct manipulation of scanned images of banknotes.<ref>[http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cds.html Photoshop and CDS]</ref> There also exist patches to counteract these measures.

| − | For [[W:United States dollar|U.S. currency]], anti-counterfeiting milestones are as follows:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *1996 [[W:American hundred dollar bill|$100 bill]] gets a new design with a larger portrait
| |
| − | *1997 [[W:American fifty dollar bill|$50 bill]] copies the design used above
| |
| − | *1998 [[W:American twenty dollar bill|$20 bill]] copies the design used above
| |
| − | *2000 [[W:American ten dollar bill|$10 bill]] and [[W:American five dollar bill|$5 bill]] copies the design used above
| |
| − | *2003 [[W:American twenty dollar bill|$20 bill]] gets a new design with no oval around [[W:Andrew Jackson|Andrew Jackson's]] portrait and more colors
| |
| − | *2004 [[W:American fifty dollar bill|$50 bill]] copies the design used above
| |
| − | *2006 [[W:American ten dollar bill|$10 bill]] copies the design used above
| |
| | | | |
| − | The Treasury had made no plans to redesign the [[W:American five dollar bill|$5 bill]] using colors, but recently reversed its decision, after learning some counterfeiters were bleaching the ink off the bills and printing them as $100 bills. It is not known when the [[W:American hundred dollar bill|$100 bill]] will be redesigned in this format, but the new [[W:American ten dollar bill|$10 bill]] (the design of which was revealed in late 2005) entered circulation on March 2, 2006. The [[W:Federal Reserve note|$1 bill]] and [[W:United States Two dollar bill|$2 bill]] are seen by most counterfeiters as having too low of a value to counterfeit, and so they have not been redesigned as frequently as higher denominations.

| | | | |
| − | In the 1980s counterfeiting in the Republic of Ireland twice resulted in sudden changes in official documents: in November 1984 the [[W:Irish punt|£1]] postage stamp, also used on savings cards for paying television licences and telephone bills, was invalidated and replaced by another design at a few days' notice, because of widespread counterfeiting. Later, the £20 [[W:Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland|Central Bank of Ireland]] Series B banknote was rapidly replaced because of what the Finance Minister described as "the involuntary privatisation of banknote printing".
| |
| | | | |
| − | In the 1990s, the portrait of Chairman Mao Zedong was placed on the banknotes of the People's Republic of China to combat counterfeiting, as he was recognised better than the generic designs on the [[W:renminbi|renminbi]] notes.

| − | In Australia, the original paper decimal currency banknotes introduced in 1966 were eventually replaced with new designs printed on clear polyester film which allowed them to have "see through" sections that are almost impossible to duplicate with a photocopier.
