Chameleon Shows His True Colours

As described in last month’s issue of Currency News™, at the recent Global Currency Forum (GCF) in Oman, industry players showcased house notes with new security features on themes ranging from butterflies, meadows and the ocean to Venus. To that can be added chameleons.

As viewers of the classic animated Pixar movie Monsters Inc will recall, a central character was a purple, eight-legged, salamander-headed, chameleon-like monster who worked as a scarer of children, helped by his ability to not only change colour and blend into the background, but to disappear completely.

The chameleon that takes centre stage in the eponymous new house note from Hueck Folien and IQ Structures is an altogether more friendly character. And an appropriate one, given the colour change technology that underpins the Nanoswitch® stripe on the note.
