is one of several security features on the new Swedish banknotes which are now presented.

Five years after the decision to make a substantial makeover of Swedish banknotes and coins could Riksbank Governor Stefan Ingves showcase deputies. In October it is supposed to, among other things, the purple 20-kronor banknote with Astrid Lindgren will be available in stores. Ingves himself satisfied with the results.

– I think they look great and are lovely, especially how the goal was to capture the culture and parts of Sweden. We have succeeded, he said.

Most people come first and foremost to notice the colors and the people on the notes, except Astrid Lindgren such as Greta Garbo and Dag Hammarskjold. For those who look closely, you can however see a safety feature that will stop the fakes. Each note has an associated symbol of the person in the picture.

– The picture goes from gold to green when wiggling. Then there is also a safety strap. When you wiggle the bill shifts the three “windows” of the note – from SEK abbreviation that stands for the crown to an actual crown – says Christina Wejshammar the Department for payment and cash at the Riksbank.
