Current Affairs Award for firm hoping to make banknote counterfeiting thing of past
Among the prize winners at Tuesday’s 2008 Česká hlava (Czech Head) science and technology awards was the company Optaglio, which has created a system aimed at ending the counterfeiting of banknotes. It involves embedding holograms – similar to those you might find on credit cards - in cash, making notes far harder to copy, and fakes far more obvious. I discussed the innovation with Optaglio’s Libor Kotačka.
