Guardian® substrate is the proven alternative to the traditional cotton-paper banknote.
Guardian® banknote substrate has been issued by more than 30 Central Banks worldwide. There is currently in circulation more than 100 billion security features present in 25 billion Guardian® banknotes.
Banknotes using Guardian® substrate are quickly recognised by the public due to the easy-to-authenticate, yet difficult-to-replicate security features that are both distinctive and visually appealing.
Today, the complex integration of security features within the Guardian® substrate provides Central Banks with the highest level of banknote security available, while offering inspirational and unique design possibilities.
