9.4 Imprint and Security Documents (Currency Notes, Passport and Credit Cards)

The security document's engineering: the currency's features (the paper — the security fibre; the intaglio's printing; the watermarks; the threads; the holograms; the microprinting; the UV faces); the passport's features (the bio-page's security, the chips — the e-passport, the laser- engraved photos); the credit card's features (the embossing, the chips, the holograms). The counterfeiter's methods (the scanning-and-printing, the bleaching-and-reprinting) and the examiner's detection (the features' verification — the light's-and-instrument's discipline). The law's faces: the counterfeiting offences (the Criminal Code's provisions; the Nepal Rastra Bank's currency authority — the counterfeiting's reporting; the passport's-and-travel-documents' offences — the immigration's law).
