Design a new banknote! This specimen banknote will serve as one of the main marketing and sales support towards Central Banks. It will help promote and sell, during a period of five to ten years, a brand new substrate on which banknotes are printed. The specificities and advantages of this new substrate are multiple. It is the first substrate made out of cellulose (wood pulp), which makes it the most sustainable and biodegradable banknote substrate ever. The sheets are coming in fully transparent form. They are not affected by static electricity like other windowed substrates. During the production phase, the surface is partially covered with a white ink to create windows and thus giving the substrate a familiar look, then printed with the usual processes available in banknote printing.
