Banknote manufacturing techniques

5 posts • viewed 105 times

Hello banknote lovers!

 

I am adding a lot of background checks for wrong information assigned to the catalogue listings, so it can be corrected easily and I would like to know something about banknote manufacturing techniques, especially, if any of them appeared after certain date (when they were invented). 

 

Giving you example from coins, we know for certain that coin milling machines appeared only after 1550, so I can ran background check for all coins that might have this manufacturing technique assigned and are older than 1550, and I know it is wrong. 

 

Anyone knowledgeable enough here on this? 🙈

 

Best regards,

Jarek

Do you mean like litho vs intaglio?

Knowledge about any technique would help :)

This could be complicated by the fact that the average banknote is printed several times…for ink color…portions of the design that are intaglio…portions that are lithograph…and not to consider that serial numbers are added later and are sometimes of a different printing than either litho or intaglio…and then the new methods that indent dots and designs into the substrate for the blind…

This will be a very onerous and contentious task I fear…

And since Numista likes to condense listings I see the need for it…but wouldn't it be easier to just have seperate pages by Pick and then say that it is litho vs intaglio? Or what ever the majority process is?

Also consider that in the world of paper security items there may be annual copywriter printing methods that are technically not litho or intaglio…

 

Also.the United States printed notes on a web press that had different process than regular sheet press.

ourdear Czechoslovakia also printed wet notes and dry notes manufacturing process…

 

This is a big bite…
