Innovative platforms for further enhancing security and durability of the Australian Polymer Banknote and other security documents

聚合物钞票是世界领先的澳大利亚创新和繁荣的象征。纸币的实用性、耐用性和安全性是消费者信心、经济稳定和国家安全的基础。近年发生的事件，以及全球资讯迅速流通所带来的机会和威胁，都使我们更有需要加强和更新港元的多项防伪特征。该项目将开发的新型、具有成本效益的安全特征技术也将有助于扩大聚合物钞票的出口市场，进一步扩展到其他要求更高的安全文件，如护照，并为我们的国内制造业提供所需的推动力。

The polymer banknote is a symbol of world-leading Australian innovation and prosperity. The utility, durability and security of our banknotes underpins consumer confidence, economic stability and national security. Events of recent years, and opportunities and threats from rapid global information flow heighten the need to enhance and renew the many security features incorporated in our currency. The novel, cost-effective security-feature technologies to be developed in this project will also contribute to increasing the substantial polymer banknote export market, enable further expansion into other, even more demanding, security documents such as passports, and provide a needed boost to our domestic manufacturing industries.
