EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a Euro bank note hologram. The image, captured under a light microscope, reveals a portion of the security hologram found on Euro bank notes. The hologram features the iconic blue and green euro symbol intertwined with an orange representation of its denomination - five. Adding to its complexity, the background displays the word "euro" in both English and Greek alphabets. The Euro, introduced on 1 January 2002 as the currency for European Union member states within the euro-zone, replaced their national currencies. To combat counterfeiting attempts, security holograms like this one are incorporated into banknotes as overt optically variable devices (OVD). These foil patches or strips discourage counterfeiters by changing color when tilted. Magnified at x3.4 with a 35mm size lens, this photograph highlights every minute detail of this metallic masterpiece. It beautifully captures how laser labelling techniques have been utilized to create such an intricate design. As we admire this stunning visual representation of finance and commerce, it serves as a reminder that money is not just paper; it represents value and trust within our economic systems. This print from Science Photo Library encapsulates both artistry and technology while showcasing an essential component in ensuring secure monetary transactions across Europe's diverse nations
