BEST CURRENCY INNOVATION

Crane Currency -Surface Applied MOTION

MOTION SURFACE™ is based on the micro-lens technology platform, but in a miniaturised form and as its name implies, it is applied to the surface of the note in the form of a stripe as opposed to being integrated as a thread.

It is much thinner than its thread counterparts and can be applied in a similar manner to foil stripes.
