RollingStar® LEAD
G+D Louisenthal (Germany)
RollingStar® LEAD is an advanced foil element from Louisenthal that creates near-animation effects on banknotes by combining micromirror, hologram, and color shift technologies. The feature produces vivid, dynamic movement that makes authentication simple while creating a formidable barrier against counterfeiting.
Animation-like effects:
The technology enables striking visual effects such as portraits with moving facial features, fireworks displays, or animals in motion. These dynamic effects are created through precision engineering that combines random structures to bend light waves, superimposes images, and deposits a unique, predefined arrangement of micromirrors onto the foil.
Security benefits:
- Fast and simple authentication, even in low light conditions
- Multi-layered technology combination virtually impossible to forge
- Optional additional security with under-foil UV primer
- Encourages users to interact with and verify the feature through its eye-catching effects
Technical performance:
- Robust foil maintains its appearance throughout the banknote's lifecycle, even in harsh conditions
- Compatible with all banknote substrate types
- Produces brightly-colored effects visible in nearly all lighting conditions
Global adoption:
RollingStar® technology is a proven success worldwide, appearing on billions of banknotes. The complexity of its manufacturing process—involving sophisticated production techniques that are difficult to replicate—is precisely what makes it such an effective security feature, while remaining easy for the public to recognize and verify.
