OUGD505 - Studio Brief 1 - Licence to Print Money - Research

Having researched into different currency designs as enabled me to understand that a lot of the designs are based on traditional aspects of each country. 

For instance the Nepal currency in which the traditional leaders portrait was replaced by Mount Everest. To enforce a mirror of the political change from kingdom to republic.

The little detail involved within the texture of the money allows me to think its there for forgery reasons (security) In comparison to my concept this technique is slightly traditional in its security but from taking into account that there are payments of apple pay which require some form on identity before accessing, to incoperate a similar feature within my concept will be an appropriate idea to use finger recognition within my Note/Card 

In 2007 (and in a revised version in 2012) Napel

A Scandinavian traditional style which features historical figures and pattern. The colours involved suggest a contemporary note.

This last edition of Suriname’s Gulden were created in 2000 to reflect native flowers and birds. Despite the beauty of these notes, they were short-lived. The Surinamese Dollar replaced the Gulden in 2004.
