Abstract
The present invention pertains to a method of producing an anti-counterfeiting document or currency which acts and feels like existing paper currencies. The method of the present invention laminates two sheets of currency paper on each side of a thin durable substrate film, thereby forming a durable document which maintains a paper-like feel. The currency of the present invention exhibits unique and powerful anti-counterfeiting features compared to those presently available. The currency of the instant invention also lasts significantly longer than conventional 'paper' money.
