New features introduced in Crane Currency:

To showcase the new feature and its RAPID Vision technology, the company revealed a new house note the same day that is termed as the “Intelligent Evolution.” 

The interesting feature of the Banknote is a giant Pacific Octopus, whose presence on the Banknote will add to its purposive beauty and adaptation.

The theory of evolution is the idea behind the concept. 

This concept dictates that DNA providing the best survival attributes are copied and passed to the next generation creating stronger more adaptive species.

Likewise, the Octopus does not care about such theories but is one of world’s best examples of intelligent evolution. With its origins as a simple clam, octopuses have evolved into one of Earth’s most specialized and intelligent creatures.

RAPID Vision has evolved in a similar fashion.

The technology’s new features have not been copied from older generations of security threads, but  intelligent evolution is in fact a brand new feature, creating stronger and better security.

RAPID Vision is described as able to change appearance with intelligent colour movement effects that offer the highest protection against counterfeiters.

The House-note and RAPID Vision were unveiled at the company’s facility in Malta, at an event attended by approximately 50 central banks, bank note printing works, scientists, and industry experts from around the world.

Crane has been constantly designing secure and beautiful products that are functional, and that means staying ahead of the counterfeiter. The counterfeiter's tools and resources are exceeded only by their ingenuity. As a result, many security features have become obsolete and facing extinction, while RAPID Vision is coming across as an evolutionary step, ensuring survival and raising the bar against counterfeiting.

The RAPID Vision windowed security thread is 4 to 6 millimeters wide with high-speed moving colour effects. It has real time synchronisation of colour and movement, which has never been seen before. Clients can fully customise the colour, movement, and graphic combinations.

It is highly durable, described as virtually impervious to soiling. It also provides high-security machine-readability.
