I&#039;ve never seen a watermark so visible on a scan:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.panix.com/%7Eclay/currency/watermark.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I read that these Mexican note debut&nbsp; &quot;pixel watermarks&quot; developed by <a href="http://www.security.arjowiggins.com/english/index.php4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.security.arjowiggins.com/english/index.php4" rel="nofollow">ArjoWiggins Security</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.panix.com/%7Eclay/currency/pixel-watermark.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>According to banknotenews.com:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>A new development in the field of multi-tone watermarks, Pixel watermarks consist of patterns of dark dots of varying sizes on light backgrounds to create 3D effects such as the texture on the angel&#039;s wing on Mexico&#039;s new 200-peso commemorative. According to ArjoWiggins, in the coming months 20 new banknotes will be issued in Asia and Latin America featuring Pixel watermarks.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
