Abstract
The Applied Physics Laboratory is involved in a program sponsored by t he U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing to increase the security of t his nation's currency against counterfeiting. The program seeks to dev elop new security features for the currency and to monitor development s in reprographic technology. Some features are intended to allow visu al identification of counterfeits by the general public; others are to be machine readable and are designed for cash transfer machines and g overnmental inspection.
