Wow, never realised there was quite so much detail in the notes. Really opened my eyes.

First thing I thought of though... was Mas Selamat rather than Monetary Authority of Singapore :bsmilie:

Ya ... I also never realized the intricacies of the printed notes until i did this. Any one of the imperfections - like the way the pen dispenses ink on the signature will show up under high magnification.

those details are known as security features to prevent counterfeiting...

Hi Hi Giantcanopy... not a close up filter. I was toying with reverse macro.
