Security paper

Security paper is a special kind of paper that is used to make important documents, like money, checks, passports, and certificates, harder to copy or fake. It is made using special materials or techniques that give it unique features which cannot be easily replicated.

For example, some security papers have watermarks, which are designs or patterns that can only be seen when held up to the light. Some have tiny fibers or threads that are embedded in the paper and can only be seen with a magnifying glass.

Other security papers have special inks or holograms that change color or shape when tilted, making it harder to replicate. Some might have fluorescent or invisible markings that can only be detected using special equipment.

Security paper is important because it helps prevent fraud and counterfeiting. By making it harder to make fake copies, it can protect people from losing money, identity theft or even something as extreme like national security.
