HOW EFFECTIVE IS INTELLIGENT BANKNOTE NEUTRALIZATION SYSTEM ON COTTON AND
POLYMER BANKNOTES?


 * 
 * 

Traditionally, banknotes are produced on a cotton-paper substrate that
incorporates numerous visible and invisible security features. IBNS have been
designed to prevent illegal access to cash by staining banknotes indelibly over
a large part of their surface. The ink penetrates deep into the cotton paper
fibers and is totally indelible. Can these properties also be confirmed for
banknotes produced on a polymer substrate? Is the ink also indelible? In other
words, do IBNS also work on polymer banknotes?





THE SPECIFICITIES OF COTTON PAPER AND POLYMER BANKNOTES :  


COTTON PAPER BANKNOTES 

The combination of high-security printing with the cotton paper substrate and
its many security features has resulted in banknotes that are impossible to
counterfeit perfectly

Banknotes have been in circulation for centuries in most countries, and have
proven to be highly reliable despite intensive use.

Over time, however, Central Banks have clearly set the objective of extending
the life cycle of banknotes. This objective, expressed to industry players, has
led to the development of more wear-resistant inks, protective varnishes and
alternative substrates.


POLYMER BANKNOTES

A new polymer substrate was introduced to the market in 1983 and has been
adopted by the Reserve Bank of Australia since 1996.

Countries such as Hong Kong and Canada have had polymer banknotes since 2012, 
and more recently, the Bank of England migrated the British Pound to a polymer
substrate. Polymer substrates are also gaining in popularity worldwide. The
BSP (Central Bank of the Philippines) has announced the introduction of 1
billion polymer banknotes in the country in January 2024.



INTELLIGENT BANKNOTE NEUTRALIZATION SYSTEM IN CIT & ATM ENVIRONMENT


IBNS IN CASH-IN-TRANSIT ENVIRONMENT :

IBNS is used to protect cash during transport and storage against all types of
physical attack (drilling, grinding, torching, use of chemicals, exposure to
extreme temperatures, explosives, etc.) as well as against attacks involving a
human factor (internal theft, kidnapping, blackmail, corruption, negligence,
etc.).

Cash-In-Transit companies, Central Banks, Commercial Banks and Retailers are the
usual and traditional users of the IBNS.

The illustration below shows an example of the secure transport of banknotes
using IBNS as a deterrent. Access to and operation of the Cash-In-Transit
container are controlled by electronics combined with software and security
keys. This constitutes the security protocol that eliminates any possibility of
illegal access. All events are recorded in the system "black box". A number of
options are available, including GPS and remote activation.

IBNS IN ATM ENVIRONMENT :

IBNS are used to protect cash within the ATM against physical attacks. These
attacks are carried out to gain access to the cash contained in the ATM safe.
Typical customers are ATM deployers such as commercial banks and ATM
manufacturers. The cassette illustrated below is an example of a standard ATM
cassette whose lid has been fitted with the IBNS system. Combined with sensors
and the control module, this system protects the ATM against any attempt at
illegal access, and neutralizes all banknotes contained in the cassettes using
indelible ink. The IBNS technology developed to protect ATMs is known as the In
Cassette Staining Device (ICSD).

IBNS ON COTTON BANKNOTES


 

 

Staining inks have been designed over time in the objective of offering the best
capillarity and the best resistance to washing attempts and protocols. Despite
the introduction of coatings and varnishes, the improvements in the formulation
of these IBNS inks have allowed to actually penetrate the cotton-paper fibers
and consequently achieve a non-reversible coverage of the banknotes.

 


IBNS ON POLYMER BANKNOTES 


THE EFFECTS OF IBNS ON POLYMER BANKNOTES :

Thanks to enhanced ink formulation, the completely closed polymer substrate can
also be addressed by IBNS. There is no penetration of the substrate as such but
a non-reversible alteration of the substrate surface which will eventually also
alter the security features embedded in the banknote.

In countries such as Mexico, Malaysia, UK, the IBNS have been largely deployed
with success. The numbers of ATM physical attacks have significantly reduced
after rolling out the IBNS . Stained polymer banknotes cannot be cleaned and put
back into circulation, making robberies pointless.


IBNS CERTIFICATIONS :

It is important to prove that the performance of neutralization of the banknotes
is meeting the international standards. Oberthur Cash Protection and SICPA  the
ink manufacturer commissioned an assessment from an independent laboratory
specializing in inks and paints (Department of Colour Science, The University of
Leeds). The conclusion of the test report mentions that ‘’the staining ink
tested is indeed one that is capable of effectively staining £10 Bank of England
notes to the extent of resisting the significant removal of the stain without
causing severe damageof the notes thus rendering the banknote unusable’’.

> The staining of polymer banknotes is as effective as that of traditional
> cotton paper banknotes. The ink has been effectively adapted to this new
> substrate, allowing Central Banks that have switched to polymer banknotes to
> remain confident that IBNS will continue to contribute to crime prevention.
