Micro-Optic Security Threads for High-Demand Banknotes

cBREEZE®

Unambiguous Verification

AT LOW COST

cBREEZE® is a new micro-optic security solution from Crane Currency. Designed to protect low-denomination, high-velocity banknotes, cBREEZE is engineered for maximum durability, robust security, and cost-effectiveness. It ensures fast, unambiguous verification at a low cost.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

cBREEZE displays secure moving effects – we call Cubic, Ripple, and Stellar – that are distinctly dynamic and easy to authenticate. Each effect is available in six bright colors.

Central banks can customize cBREEZE with text such as the central bank name, currency code, or denomination. And what’s more this familiar, recognizable text is legible by the public in a glance, an improvement over old-fashioned demetallized text which requires the banknote to be held up to the light.
