All of us use paper currency all the time either directly or indirectly. But do you now what steps and stages result in final shape of paper currency. Here we introduce you to most colorful currency notes from around the World and also the major steps involved in making these.

1) Engraving the Plate
The first step in the production of paper currency is the hand-engraving of the plate from which the money will be printed. This plate is called the master die. The images on the master die are then transferred to the printing plate in a process called siderography. Sometimes images from older dies are mixed and re-used in creating a new printing plate, so not all the images transferred to a particular plate necessarily come from a single master die.
2) Printing
Money in the U.S. is printed on high-speed rotary presses. The backs of the notes are printed in green ink, and allowed to dry for 1 to 2 days. Then the process is repeated for the fronts, which are done in black ink. These days the paper typically contains watermarks or magnetic strips in the paper, which are intended to defeat counterfeiters.
3) Examination
Each sheet of newly printed bills is inspected for flaws before it is released for numbering. As bills are numbered in sequence, this examination must be done before the numbers are added.
4) Cut and Bound
The bills are then cut from the sheets and bound up into 100-note bundles. These bundles are then bound together to form a “brick” of 40 individual bundles, for a total of 4,000 notes. These bricks are then distributed to the different branches of the Federal Reserve.
