The 2,000-peso bill has been circulating since May 22, after having advanced its launch. As there are still few units on the street and people are not familiar with them, the Central Bank seeks to spread the characteristics to look at when the first one appears in the wallet.
The banknote has as predominant colors shades of dark gray and pink, with the portraits of Ramón Carrillo and Cecilia Grierson on the obverse, and the building of the National Institute of Microbiology Dr. Carlos G. Malbrán on the reverse.
Among the "strict security measures" that the ticket has to avoid counterfeiting are the watermark that reproduces the images of Ramón Carrillo and Cecilia Grierson and the optical variability ink that changes color, with a three-dimensional dynamic effect.
According to the entity, the banknote is made of a paper that has the same physical and chemical characteristics as current banknotes, and includes specific identification elements for people with blindness, such as the code with relief perceptible to the touch that is located on both vertical edges.
$2,000 bill: security measures
The 10 main security elements that the new banknote has to prevent counterfeiting are:
1. Watermark
It is localized, molded and multitonal. It is seen in the light and reproduces the portraits of Ramón Carrillo and Cecilia Grierson.
2. Security fibers
They are invisible and with blue and yellow luminescence under ultraviolet light, they are randomly distributed on the paper.
3. Optical variability ink
On the obverse of the prints, the image of the symbol internationally associated with medicine, located in the upper right corner, changes color from green to blue when the banknote is tilted and presents a three-dimensional dynamic effect.
4. Reason for front-back complementation
The partial motif of the denomination 2.000, located in the lower left corner, is complemented by transparency with that of the reverse.
5. Latent image
In the ornamental motif in the lower right corner you can see the letters "RA" when looking at the banknote in grazing light.
6. Intaglio printing
Applied in the portraits of Carrillo and Grierson, texts, values in numbers and code for people with blindness.
7. Microprints
On the temple of the glasses and on the flaps of the sack. Ramon Carrillo.
8. Iris effect security backgrounds
9. Vertical numbering
It is on the reverse, on the left margin in red, with red luminosity to ultraviolet light.
10. Horizontal numbering
In the upper right corner in black ink, with digits of variable size, with yellow luminosity to ultraviolet light.
