Funded Activity Summary

Innovative platforms for further enhancing security and durability of the Australian Polymer Banknote and other security documents. The polymer banknote is a symbol of world-leading Australian innovation and prosperity. The utility, durability and security of our banknotes underpins consumer confidence, economic stability and national security. Events of recent years, and opportunities and threats from rapid global information flow heighten the need to enhance and renew the many security features incorporated in our currency. The novel, cost-effective security-feature technologies to be developed in this project will also contribute to increasing the substantial polymer banknote export market, enable further expansion into other, even more demanding, security documents such as passports, and provide a needed boost to our domestic manufacturing industries.
