![]() It’s an anti-counterfeiting feature called a kinegram – a souped-up cousin to the hologram. The glittery foil strip is attached to a 5-euro note, but it isn’t merely a beautiful decoration or trompe l’oeil gimmick. Tilt again, and the strip is solid silver, with no colours or neon, with the 5s and euro symbols barely visible. Tilt the foil 45 degrees, however, and three of the 5s become the symbol for the euro, in different colours than before. The colours illuminate a vertical row of five 5s, each in a unique set of pastels – green on purple, green on orange, coral on purple, and so on. The array of neon colors, glittering on a flimsy strip of foil, is almost blinding.
