Money is a title unit used to pay for goods and services. Banknotes contain a huge amount of small details that help prevent counterfeiting. That is why their production is a complex and lengthy process.
Instructions
Step 1
Money is made using special paper, which is made of cotton and linen. First, three tons of cotton are loaded into a huge boiler, where it is cooked under pressure for two hours. The resulting mass goes into the tank, cleaned and clarified. Then it is pressed and placed in special devices - softeners. Experts create a special shade of the pulp, then add paint and watermarks while it is wet.
Step 2
Moisture is removed from the paper by hot presses, after which the blanks are rolled into huge rolls weighing over four tons. The paper already contains security threads and watermarks, and each roll is used to produce different denomination banknotes.
Step 3
The next step is engraving. It is produced on a steel plate. One engraving can take up to several hundred hours. Also, special presses apply additional details to the banknote: thin stripes and subtle numbers. The ink dries up within 72 hours, after which it is the turn of intaglio printing.
Step 4
With a special press, the paper is pressed into the indentations filled with ink, which makes it possible to obtain a texture that is rather difficult to copy. Metallic ink is applied to the front side of the banknote, their peculiarity is that they change color depending on the angle at which the banknote is held.
Step 5
With the help of optical scanners, an image is applied to each banknote and flaws are looked for. Each sheet takes less than a second. Upon completion of the inspection, each sheet is assigned a serial number with a federal reserve designation.
Step 6
Then the money goes to the workshop, where the specialists cut the sheets. The received bills are counted and packaged. After that, they become fully solvent and ready to use.
