3D Hologram Technology:
Japan has introduced new yen banknotes equipped with 3D hologram technology to combat counterfeiting.
- The existing currency remains valid, with new bills gradually entering circulation through banks and ATMs to accommodate Japan’s cash-centric transactions.
- 3D hologram technology creates three-dimensional images that appear to have depth and motion without the need for special glasses.
- It uses principles of interference and diffraction.
- It uses lasers to record light patterns reflected from an object, producing a realistic holographic image that changes perspective as the viewer moves.
- These holograms are used for security in currency, authentication of products, and immersive displays in entertainment and education.
